| Background | Aldose reductase (AKR1B1) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily and catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. This protein is implicated in the development of diabetic complications by catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol. |
| Concentration | 1.0 mg/ml (determined by Bradford assay) |
| Protocols | Activity Assay 1. Prepare a 1 ml reaction mix into a suitable container : The final concentrations are 0.1M sodium phosphate (pH7.0), 10mM DL-glyceraldehyde, 0.3mM NADPH. 2. Add 50ul of recombinant AKR1B1 solution with various concentrations (2.5ug, 5ug, 10ug) in 750ul reaction buffer. 3. Mix by inversion and incubate at 25°C for 2.5 minutes. 4. Add 200ul of 50 mM DL-glyceraldehyde as a substrate and immediately mix by inversion. 5. Record the increase in A340nm for 3 minutes. |
