Human Beta, Beta-Carotene 9', 10'-Oxygenase, BCO2 ELISA Kit, 96T Vortex Mixer Hydrolyzes the ester bond of

Hydrolyzes the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids (phospholipase A2 activity) with preference for phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylglycerols over phosphatidylcholines (PubMed: 3356705)

MED29 is a subunit of the Mediator complex

The gene encodes a transmembrane glycoprotein that localizes to the plasma and mitochondrial membranes and mediates the cellular uptake of nucleosides from the surrounding medium

but not in muscle (PubMed: 17908561)

Human Beta, Beta-Carotene 9', 10'-Oxygenase, BCO2 ELISA Kit, 96T Vortex Mixer Hydrolyzes the ester bond ofAsymmetrically cleaves beta carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta apo 10' carotenal and beta ionone. Besides beta carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
