GMPS Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 717 amino acids (1-693) and having a molecular mass of 79.2kDa. GMPS is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. GMP synthase (GMPS) is involved in purine biosynthesis. GMPS, which is a homodimer, catalyzes the last step in the GMP synthesis pathway, specifically the ATP-dependent amination of XMP to GMP. GMPS is comprised of one GMP-binding domain and one glutamine amidotransferase type-1 domain through which it communicates its catalytic activity. GMPS is engaged in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides which are not only vital for DNA and RNA synthesis, but also supply GTP, which is involved in sevral cellular processes important for cell division. GMPS gene chromosomal translocations are linked with acute myeloid leukemias, suggesting a possible role for GMPS in carcinogenesis.
