Sequence without tag. The proposed Strep-Tag is based on experience with the expression system. Our team may suggest an additional tag depending on the complexity of the protein. If you have a special request, please contact us..

Characteristics: Key Benefits:

• Made in Germany - from design to production - by highly experienced protein experts.
• Protein expressed with ALiCE® and purified in one-step affinity chromatography
• State-of-the-art algorithm used for plasmid design (Gene synthesis).

This protein is a predefined custom protein and will be made for the first time for your order. Our experts in the lab try to ensure that you receive soluble protein.

The big advantage of ordering our predefined custom proteins in comparison to ordering custom made proteins from other companies is that there is no financial obligation in case the protein cannot be expressed or purified.

Expression System:

• ALiCE®, our Almost Living Cell-Free Expression System is based on a lysate obtained from Nicotiana tabacum c.v.. This contains all the protein expression machinery needed to produce even the most difficult-to-express proteins, including those that require post-translational modifications.
• During lysate production, the cell wall and other cellular components that are not required for protein production are removed, leaving only the protein production machinery and the mitochondria to drive the reaction. During our lysate completion steps, the additional components needed for protein production (amino acids, cofactors, etc.) are added to produce something that functions like a cell, but without the constraints of a living system - all that's needed is the DNA that codes for the desired protein!

Concentration:

• The concentration of our recombinant proteins is measured using the absorbance at 280nm.
• The protein's absorbance will be measured against its specific reference buffer.
• We use the Expasy's ProtParam tool to determine the absorption coefficient of each protein.

Purification: One-step Strep-tag purification of proteins expressed in Almost Living Cell-Free Expression System (ALiCE®).

Application Details

Application Notes: In addition to the applications listed above we expect the protein to work for functional studies as well. As the protein has not been tested for functional studies yet we cannot offer a guarantee though.

Target Details

Target: AKR1C3 (Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1, Member C3 (3-alpha Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, Type II) (AKR1C3))

Alternative Name: AKR1C3

Background: Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (EC 1.1.1.-) (EC 1.1.1.210) (EC 1.1.1.53) (EC 1.1.1.62) (17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 5) (17-beta-HSD 5) (3-alpha-HSD type II, brain) (3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2) (3-alpha-HSD type 2) (EC 1.1.1.357) (Chlordecone reductase homolog HAKRb) (Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 3) (DD-3) (DD3) (Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase type I) (HA1753) (Prostaglandin F synthase) (PGFS) (EC 1.1.1.188) (Testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase 5) (EC 1.1.1.239, EC 1.1.1.64),FUNCTION: Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Acts as a NAD(P)(H)-dependent 3-, 17- and 20-ketosteroid reductase on the steroid nucleus and side chain and regulates the metabolism of androgens, estrogens and progesterone (PubMed:10622721, PubMed:11165022, PubMed:7650035, PubMed:9415401, PubMed:9927279). Displays the ability to catalyze both oxidation and reduction in vitro, but most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentration of NADPH (PubMed:14672942, PubMed:11165022). Acts preferentially as a 17-ketosteroid reductase and has the highest catalytic efficiency of the AKR1C enzyme for the reduction of delta4-androstenedione to form testosterone (PubMed:20036328). Reduces prostaglandin (PG) D2 to 11beta-prostaglandin F2, progesterone to 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and estrone to 17beta-estradiol (PubMed:15047184, PubMed:20036328, PubMed:10622721, PubMed:11165022, PubMed:10998348, PubMed:19010934). Catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol) (PubMed:10998348, PubMed:14672942, PubMed:11165022, PubMed:7650035, PubMed:9415401, PubMed:10557352). Also displays retinaldehyde reductase activity toward 9-cis-retinal (PubMed:21851338). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10557352, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10622721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10998348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11165022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14672942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15047184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19010934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20036328, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21851338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7650035, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9415401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9927279}.
