Insertion of the gene encoding the Human AKR1C2 protein (1-323aa) into a plasmid vector results in the formation of recombinant plasmid, which is then introduced into e.coli cells. Positive e.coli cells are selected relying on their ability to survive in the presence of a specific antibiotic. The e.coli cells containing the recombinant plasmid are cultured under conditions conducive to the expression of the gene of interest. A N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag is attached to the protein. Following expression, the recombinant Human AKR1C2 protein is isolated and purified from the cell lysate through affinity purification. The resultant recombinant Human AKR1C2 protein is analyzed using denaturing SDS-PAGE, revealing a purity greater than 90%.

Target Name
AKR1C2
Target Full Name
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C2
Target Function
Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentrations of NADPH. Displays a broad positional specificity acting on positions 3, 17 and 20 of steroids and regulates the metabolism of hormones like estrogens and androgens. Works in concert with the 5-alpha/5-beta-steroid reductases to convert steroid hormones into the 3-alpha/5-alpha and 3-alpha/5-beta-tetrahydrosteroids. Catalyzes the inactivation of the most potent androgen 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5-alpha-DHT) to 5-alpha-androstane-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol). Also specifically able to produce 17beta-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-3-one/5alphaDHT. May also reduce conjugated steroids such as 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone sulfate. Displays affinity for bile acids.

Target Background
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols using NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme binds bile acid with high affinity, and shows minimal 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.
