| Description | Usually used as a marker (~45 kDa) for protein electrophoresis,and has also been used to produce an animal model of asthma | A general purpose purified albumin, suitable for Westerns, enzyme systems and as a protein supplement | Product DescriptionEndo F1 cleaves Asparagine-linked high mannose and some hybrid oligosaccharides. Core fucosylation reduces the activity by 50 fold. Endoglycosidase F1 will hydrolyze sulfate containing high-mannose chains. It cleaves between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the Product DescriptionEndo F1 cleaves Asparagine-linked high mannose and some hybrid oligosaccharides. Core fucosylation reduces the activity by 50 fold. Endoglycosidase F1 will hydrolyze sulfate containing high-mannose chains. It cleaves between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine. In contrast, PNGase F removes the oligosaccharide intact.Molecular weight 32,000 daltonsContents60 µl aliquot of enzyme (1 U) in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5Included with 20 µL and 60 µL pack sizes:5x Reaction Buffer – 250 mM sodium phosphate, pH 5.5Specific ActivityDefined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the release of N-linked oligosaccharides from 1 micromole of denatured Ribonuclease B (RNase B) in 1 minute at 37°C, pH 5.5. Cleavage is monitored by SDS-PAGE (cleaved RNase B migrates faster).FormulationThe enzyme is provided as a sterile-filtered solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5StabilitySeveral days exposure to ambient temperatures will not reduce activity. Stable at least 12 months when stored properly. SpecificityEndo F1 cleaves Asparagine-linked high mannose or hybrid oligosaccharides. It cleaves between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine. In contrast, PNGase F removes the oligosaccharide intact. Quality & PurityEndo F1 is tested for contaminating protease as follows: 10 µg of denatured BSA is incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with 2 µl of enzyme. SDS-PAGE analysis of the treated BSA shows no evidence of degradation. The production host strain has been extensively tested and does not produce any detectable glycosidases.Directions for use1. Add up to 200 µg of glycoprotein to an Eppendorf tube. Adjust to 38 µl final volume with de-ionized water.2. Add 10 µl 5x Reaction Buffer 5.53. Add 2.0 µl of Endo F1 to the reaction. Incubate 1 hour or more at 37°C.Monitor cleavage by SDS-PAGE... Read More | Acid phosphatase is an esterase with broad activity at an optimal pH below 7.0. There are three isozymes, EI, EII, and EIII of similar molecular weight (55 kDa± 5 kDa). Their optimum pH's are 5.5, 4.5, and 4.0 respectively. Acid phosphatase activity was observed by Teller Aladdin Library Acid phosphatase is an esterase with broad activity at an optimal pH below 7.0. There are three isozymes, EI, EII, and EIII of similar molecular weight (55 kDa± 5 kDa). Their optimum pH's are 5.5, 4.5, and 4.0 respectively. Acid phosphatase activity was observed by Teller Aladdin Library Archives in 1954 in preparations of a wheat germ lipase described by Singer JBC, 174, 11, in 1948. Equivalent commercial preparations have been distributed labeled as lipase and acid phosphatase thus generating some confusion. Subsequent work has confirmed that the non-specific esterase activity of the wheat germ preparation may be measured both as lipase (triacetin as substrate) and phosphatase. The enzyme assay is based on the work of Brandenberger and Hanson (Helv. Chim. Acta, 36, 900, 1953) and Hofstee ( Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 51, 239, 1954).Acid phosphatase (APase) non-specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of monoesters and anhydrides of phosphoric acid to produce inorganic phosphate. It is used to study the production, transport, and recycling of phosphate and the metabolic and energy transduction processes of the cell.Characteristics of Acid Phosphatase from Wheat Germ:Molecular weight: 55,000 ± 5,000 (Verjee 1969).Composition: Three isozymes of closely similar molecular weights have been reported by Verjee (1969): EI, EII, and EIII. See also Brouillard and Ouellet (1965).Optimal pH: EI - 5.5, EII - 4.5, and EIII - 4.0. (Verjee 1969).Specificity: The enzyme has a broad esterase activity. See Joyce and Grisolia (1960). It shows highest activity for pyrophosphate.Inhibitors: Fluoride, molybdate and orthophosphate (Verjee 1969)...
