Methionine adenosyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.6) catalyzes the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. AdoMet is the major methyl donor for many of the transmethylation reactions in the body. The MAT2A promoter is highly GC rich, especially in the first 300 bp. The promoter contains several potential SP1-, v-myb-, and GATA-binding sites, as well as potential binding sites for C/EBP, HSF2, c-myb, and STATx. It can efficiently drive expression from a reporter gene in both Jurkat and 293 cells. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to MAT2A, fused to T7 tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli. Molecular Weight: ~46kD Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
