Description
This product is a recombinant fragment of human Phosphopantothenate--cysteine ligase (PPC synthetase), encompassing amino acids 2-311. It represents a stable, soluble unit ideal for structural studies and biochemical assays, supporting research into coenzyme A biosynthesis.
Phosphopantothenate--cysteine ligase, encoded by the PPCS gene in humans, catalyzes the second step in coenzyme A biosynthesis from vitamin B5. It conjugates cysteine to 4'-phosphopantothenate to form 4-phosphopantothenoylcysteine, a critical reaction in cellular metabolism. The enzyme exhibits a preference for ATP over CTP as a cosubstrate, underscoring its role in energy-dependent cofactor production. This protein is essential for numerous metabolic pathways, making it a valuable target for biochemical and pharmacological investigations.
