Synthetic peptide corresponding to the middle region of human MPST. Species sequence homology: bovine, canine, guinea pig, goat, equine, mouse, porcine, rabbit, rat.
MPST transfer of a sulfur ion to cyanide or to other thiol compounds. MPST also has weak rhodanese activity. MPST may have a role in cyanide degradation or in thiosulfate biosynthesis.This gene encodes a protein which can function as a monomer or as a disulfide-linked homodimer and which catalyzes the transfer of a sulfur ion from 3-mercaptopyruvate to cyanide or other thiol compounds. It may be involved in cyanide degradation and in thiosulfate biosynthesis. The encoded cytoplasmic protein is a member of the rhodanese family but is not rhodanese itself, which is a mitochondrial protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
