Catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-2-6 bisphosphate

Biomolecule/Target: TIGAR

Alternates names: TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR)

Synonyms: TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR)

Background Information: TIGAR is a p53-inducible enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-2-6 bisphosphate (F-2-6-BP) to fructose-6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. F-2-6-BP is a powerful activator of 6-phosphofructose-1 kinase, the rate limiting enzyme of glycolysis. By lowering the intracellular level of F-2-6-BP, TIGAR expression leads to increased glucose processing via the pentose phosphate pathway, the major cellular source for NADPH. Protein transduction using TAT fusion proteins represents an alternative methodology for introducing transcription factors and other intracellular proteins into primary as well as transformed cells. Recombinant human TIGAR-TAT expressed in E. coli is a 31.6 kDa protein containing 283 amino-acid residues, including the 269 residues of full-length TIGAR fused to a 14-residue C-terminal peptide containing the TAT transduction domain (GGGYGRKKRRQRRR).

Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
