Riboflavin Kinase Recombinant Protein | RFK recombinant protein
Recombinant Human Riboflavin Kinase
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Introduction: Flavokinase is a transferases family member, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. Flavokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of riboflavin (vitamin B2) to form flavin-mononucleotide (FMN), which is an obligatory step in vitamin B2 utilization and flavin cofactor synthesis. It has been proposed that TNF, through the activation of the RFK gene, enhances the incorporation of FAD in NADPH oxidase enzymes, which is a critical step for the assembly and activation of NADPH oxidase.

Product Notes
The RFK rfk (Catalog #AAA143674) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MPRADCIMRH LPYFCRGQVV RGFGRGSKQL GIPTANFPEQ VVDNLPADIS TGIYYGWASV GSGDVHKMVV SIGWNPYYKN TKKSMETHIM HTFKEDFYGE ILNVAIVGYL RPEKNFDSLE SLISAIQGDI EEAKKRLELP EHLKIKEDNF FQVSKSKIMN GH. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Riboflavin Kinase, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
