The glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are enzymes which are part of the cell antioxidant system inhibiting the ROS-induced damages of membranes and proteins. In cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) genome, five GPX genes were identified. Cysteine insertion codons (UGU) were found in TcPHGPX, TcGPX2, TcGPX4,
The gene encoding the 67-kDa cocoa storage protein precursor has been cloned from Theobroma cacao and expressed in Escherichia coli using the pET expression system. The recombinant storage protein has been renatured from inclusion bodies at 30 degrees C using 20 mM glycine-NaOH buffer, pH 10.0,
BACKGROUND
The stem bark of Theobroma cacao L. have been used for the treatment of inflammation, toothache, measles and malaria in ethnomedicine. However, the anti-inflammatory activity of Theobroma cacao stem bark has not been fully elucidated.
OBJECTIVE
The anti-inflammatory activity of Theobroma
