Vascular adhesion protein-1(VAP-1) is a copper amine oxidase with a topaquinone cofactor.VAP-1 is a type II integral membrane protein; but a soluble form of the enzyme is present in human serum; and its level increases in diabetes and some inflammatory liver diseases. VAP-1 catalyzes the oxidative deamination of small primary amines such as methylamine; benzylamine; and aminoacetone in a reaction that produces an aldehyde; ammonia; and H2O2. VAP-1 vascular expression is regulated at sites of inflammation through its release from intracellular granules in which the protein is stored. The adhesive function of VAP-1 has been demonstrated in studies showing that the protein is important for the adherence of certain lymphocyte subtypes to inflamed endothelial tissues. VAP-1 mediated adhesion is involved in the process of leukocyte extravasation; an important feature of inflammatory responses. VAP-1 is considered to be a therapeutic target for diabetes; oxidative stress; and inflammatory diseases.
Recombinant Human Membrane Primary Amine Oxidase is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Arg27-Asn763 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
