> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Supplied as 0.22 μm filtered solution in 20mM Tris, 0.3M NaCl, 10% Glycerol (pH 8.0).

Reconstitution :

Storage and Stability :
Valid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80°C. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Mouse DDC on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Mouse DDC is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. Bioactivity Data Measured by its ability to convert the substrate 3, 4-dihydroxy L-phenylalanine (L-Dopa) to 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (dopamine). The dopamine product is measured by its absorbance at 340 nm after derivatization with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid. The specific activity is >1500 pmol/min/µg, as measured under the described conditions.

Background :
Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by deficient synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. It presents in early infancy, and causes severe developmental disability and lifelong motor, behavioral, and autonomic symptoms including oculogyric crises (OGC), sleep disorder, and mood disturbance.

Synonyms :
AADC
