Description

Insertion of the gene encoding the Human AKR1C3 protein (1-323aa) into a plasmid vector results in the formation of recombinant plasmid, which is then introduced into e.coli cells. Positive e.coli cells are selected relying on their ability to survive in the presence of a specific antibiotic. The e.coli cells containing the recombinant plasmid are cultured under conditions conducive to the expression of the gene of interest. A N-terminal GST tag is attached to the protein. Following expression, the recombinant Human AKR1C3 protein is isolated and purified from the cell lysate through affinity purification. The resultant recombinant Human AKR1C3 protein is analyzed using denaturing SDS-PAGE, revealing a purity greater than 90%.

Target Background

Function
Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Acts as a NAD(P)(H)-dependent 3-, 17- and 20-ketosteroid reductase on the steroid nucleus and side chain and regulates the metabolism of androgens, estrogens and progesterone. Displays the ability to catalyze both oxidation and reduction in vitro, but most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentration of NADPH. Acts preferentially as a 17-ketosteroid reductase and has the highest catalytic efficiency of the AKR1C enzyme for the reduction of delta4-androstenedione to form testosterone. Reduces prostaglandin (PG) D2 to 11beta-prostaglandin F2, progesterone to 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and estrone to 17beta-estradiol. Catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol). Displays also retinaldehyde reductase activity toward 9-cis-retinal.
