Description Formiminotransferase Cyclodeaminase Human Recombinant (also called liver cytosol type 1) produced in SF9, is a glycosylated, polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 59,749 Dalton.The FTCD is expressed with a -6xHis tag and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Protein Background Formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase is an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of formiminoglutamateand tetrahydrofolateinto formiminotetrahydrofolateand glutamate.Formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase, a bifunctional enzyme of tetrahydrofolate synthesis, is the target antigen of anti-LC1 (liver cytosol antigen type 1) autoantibodies. Presence of LC1 autoantibodies is a marker for type 2 autoimmune hepatitis (for which anti-LKM 1/cytochrome P450 2D6 autoantibodies are a further marker).Serum LC1 autoantibody concentrations appear to fluctuate in parallel with aminotransferase levels, a particularly intriguing observation that suggests a possible role of LC1 autoreactivity in the pathogenic mechanism leading to hepatocyte injury.
Expression host Sf9 insect cells.
Synonyms Formiminotransferase-cyclodeaminase, FTCD, LCHC1, LC-1.
Storage Conditions Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°Cfor longer periods of time. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Immunological functions 1. Binds IgG-type human auto-antibodies.2. Standard ELISA test (checker-board analysis of positive/negative sera panels, immuno-dot test).
Coating concentration 0.35-0.7 ug/ml (depending on the type of ELISA plate and coating buffer).Suitable for biotinylation and iodination.
