HPGD, 1-266aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

HPGD, also known as 15-PGDH, is the fundamental enzyme of prostaglandin degradation. This protein strongly reduces the biologic activity of these molecules by catalyzing the oxidation of the 15-hydroxyl group of prostaglandins to a keto group. HPGD is implicated in many physiologic and cellular processes, such as inflammation. Recombinant human HPGD protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
