PNPO Human Recombinant fused with a 21 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E. Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 226 amino acids (57-261 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 25.9kDa. The PNPO is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Pyridoxine-5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPO) is the rate-limiting enzyme in vitamin B6 synthesis. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5-prime-phosphate or PLP) is vital for normal cellular function, and some cancer cells have notable differences in vitamin B6 metabolism compared to their normal counterparts. Vitamin B6 is an essential co-factor for enzymes involved in both homocysteine metabolism and synthesis of neurotransmitters such as catecholamine. Mutations in the PNPO gene result in PNPO deficiency, a form of neonatal epileptic encephalopathy.
