Histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) is found in the cytosol and uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor. HNMT inactivates histamine by N-methylation. Histamine is involved in regulation and modulation of immune response through the stimulation of four distinct subtypes of receptors, H1, H2, H3, and H4, present on the target cells. Histamine is inactivated by the histamine-metabolizing enzyme histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) in bronchus, kidney, and the central nervous system. It plays an important role in degrading histamine and in regulating the airway response to histamine. Recombinant human HNMT protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
Enzyme Activity:Not determined. This product is recommended for use in applications that do not require a catalytically active form of the protein.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
