Part:BBa_K3957002
This part encodes for a human 1, 25 alpha hydroxylase protein
This part consists solely of the coding region for human 1, 25-alpha-hydroxylase protein. This protein functions to catalyze the addition of a hydroxyl group to the 1-C position of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, converting it to the biologically active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). This enzyme is useful for studying vitamin D in a from a biological environment, as the inactive form (25-hydroxyvitamin D) is found in abundance relative to the active form. To be able to use this part, the binding protein that is naturally bound to inactive vitamin D must be removed. This is typically done by subjecting it to ethanol or DMSO. Once the binding protein is removed, the 1,25-alpha-hydroxylase is able to bind the inactive vitamin D and the reaction may occur.
