Background: PPA1 (Inorganic pyrophosphatase 1, also PPase and IOPPP) is a 32-36 kDa cytoplasmic member of the PPase family of enzymes. It is ubiquitously expressed, and acts on di-(or pyro) phosphate, generating orthophosphate in a Mg+-dependent manner. This activity can both generate energy for cells, or in the case of osteoblasts, provide raw material for calcification. The consumption of pyrophosphate may also remove inhibitors of enzymes such as guanylyl cyclase, and PPA1 itself is also reported to stimulate gene expression. Human PPA1 is 289 amino acids (aa) in length. There is one pyrophosphatase domain between aa 42-255, and two utilized acetylation sites at Lys 57 and Lys228. PPA1 is known to form homodimers. There is one potential alternative start site at Met46. Full-length human PPA1 shares 94% aa sequence identity with mouse PPA1.
Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity
Sequence: Ser 2-Asn 289
Purity: > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Normally 5%-8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.
Endotoxin: < 10 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
