Aldolase A human

Aldolase A (ALDOA) is a ubiquitous glycolytic enzyme expressed in developing embryos and in adult muscles. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 16p11.2. Recombinant human Aldolase A, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

In glycolysis, aldolase A (ALDOA) catalyzes the reversible reaction of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is involved in a wide range of cellular functions such as maintenance of striated muscle contraction, cell shape and mobility, actin filament organization and ATP biosynthetic process. High expression level of ALDOA is reported in various forms of malignant cancers, including human lung squamous, renal cell and hepatocellular carcinomas. ALDOA deficiency causes myopathy and hemolytic anemia.
