DDT (D-dopachrome tautomerase, Phenylpyruvate tautomerase II)

DDT, D-dopachrome tautomerization, converts D-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole. Northern blot analysis revealed that DDT was expressed as a 0.6-kb mRNA in all tissues tested, with the strongest expression in liver. The DDT gene in human and mouse is identical in exon structure to the MIF gene. Both genes have 2 introns that are located at equivalent positions, relative to a 2-fold repeat in protein structure.the genes for DDT and MIF are closely linked on human chromosome 22 and mouse chromosome 10.\n\nUniProt Number:\nP30046\n\nGene ID:\nDDT\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) and Immunocytochemistry.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
