This Human NAPRT1 recombinant protein was produced in E.coli, where the gene sequence encoding Human NAPRT1 (229-538aa) was expressed with the N-terminal GST tag. The purity of this NAPRT1 protein was greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE.
NAPRT is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the nicotinic acid (niacin) metabolism pathway. Its primary function is to catalyze the reaction between nicotinic acid and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP), converting nicotinic acid into a precursor for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD and NADP are essential coenzymes in cells, participating in various biological processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, antioxidant reactions, and more. Therefore, NAPRT plays a significant role in maintaining normal cellular metabolism and function. NAPRT is also important in anticancer drug research. Some anticancer drugs, such as quinolone-based medications, interfere with cell metabolism by affecting the activity of NAPRT, thereby exerting toxic effects on cancer cells.
