Human Iduronate 2-Sulfatase / IDS Protein (His Tag)

IDS,MPS2,SIDS

Catalog Number P10337-H08H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms IDS,MPS2,SIDS
Molecular Weight The secreted recombinant human IDS with the propeptide consists of 536 amino acids after removal of the signal peptide and has a predicted molecular mass of 61 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, it migrates as several bands with apparent molecular mass between 85-95 KDa due to glycosylation.
predicted N Ser 26
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 87 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding human IDS precursor (NP_000193.1) (Met 1-Pro 550) was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag.
Bio-activity Measured by its ability to hydrolyze the substrate 4-Nitrocatechol Sulfate (PNCS).
The specific activity is > 1.0 pmoles/min/μg.
Research Area Immunology |Inflammation / Inflammatory Mediator |Lysosomal Enzymes
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background Iduronate 2-Sulfatase, also known as IDS, is a member of the highly conserved sulfatase family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of O- and N-sulfate esters from a variety of substrates. The human Iduronate 2-Sulfatase/IDS consists of a signal peptide, a pro peptide and a mature chain that may be further processed into two chains. Among the identified 18 human sulfatases, Iduronate 2-Sulfatase/IDS is required for the lysosomal degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAG), heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Multiple mutations in this X-chromosome localized gene result in Iduronate 2-Sulfatase/IDS enzymatic deficiency, and lead to the sex-linked Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II ), also known as Hunter Syndrome characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of the GAG and their excretion in urine. MPS II has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe due to the level of Iduronate 2-Sulfatase/IDS enzyme. Retroviral-mediated Iduronate 2-Sulfatase/IDS gene transfer into lymphoid cells would be a promising gene therapeutic strategy.
