Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life

Protein Description
UGP2 (Uridine Diphosphate Glucose Pyrophosphorylase 2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism by catalyzing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate and uridine triphosphate (UTP) into uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) and pyrophosphate. This reaction is fundamental for synthesizing glycosylated compounds, which are essential for various biological processes, including energy storage, cell signaling, and the synthesis of complex carbohydrates. Research into UGP2 has gained attention due to its potential implications in various fields, including plant biology, as this enzyme is vital for plant growth and development through its involvement in starch biosynthesis and cell wall formation. Moreover, UGP2 is implicated in metabolic disorders and diseases, making it a target for therapeutic interventions. Understanding the structure, function, and regulation of UGP2 is critical for elucidating its role in metabolic pathways and developing strategies to manipulate its activity for agricultural or medical applications. Advances in recombinant DNA technology have enabled the production of UGP2 as a recombinant protein, facilitating in-depth studies of its biochemical properties and interactions. This has opened new avenues for exploring the enzyme's potential as a biotechnological tool in bioprocesses and its applications in improving crop yields and understanding human health conditions associated with carbohydrate metabolism.
