There is no activity on α(1-4) linked galactose. It is particularly efficient for removing α-linked galactose under conditions where the pH must be neutral or above, for example, with living cells.Molecular Weight ~80,000 daltonsContents Alpha galactosidase in 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5 included with 20 µL and 60 µl pack sizes: Reaction buffer - 250mM Sodium phosphate, pH 6.5Specificity Non-reducing terminal alpha-(1-3)- and alpha-(1-6)- galactose. There is no activity on alpha-(1-4)-galactose.Stability Stable at least 12 months when stored properly. Several days exposure to ambient temperatures will not reduce activity.Specific Activity One unit of alpha-(1-3,6) Galactosidase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 µmole of p-nitrophenol (pNP) in 1 minute at 25°C pH 6.5 from p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. Purity α(1-3,6) galactosidase is tested for contaminating protease as follows; 10 µg of denatured BSA is incubated for 24 hours at 37°C 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.of the BSA band after SDS-PAGE should show no evidence of degradation. Directions for use 1. Add up to 100 µg of asialoglycoprotein or 1 nmol of oligosaccharide to tube. 2. Add water to 13 µl and 4 µl 5X Reaction Buffer. 3. Add 2 µl alpha-(1-3,6)-Galactosidase. 4. Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour. Longer incubations are necessary if fucose is present on the penultimate sugar.Applications Structural analysis of oligosaccharides Xenograft transplantation studies Removing heterogeneity from glycoproteins...

The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types. It is produced by kidney or liver of adult mammals and by liver of fetal or neonatal mammals...

It is widely expressed, and serves as a strong Purity:>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:ER alpha (Estrogen receptor alpha; also Estradiol receptor and NR3A1) is a 65-70 kDa member of the NR3 subfamily, nuclear hormone receptor family of proteins. It is widely expressed, and serves as a strong activator of estrogen-responsive genes. ER alpha is normally quiescent and bound to heat-shock proteins and immunophilins. Following beta -estradiol binding, it becomes activated, either homodimerizes or heterodimerizes with ER beta, and binds to DNA with multiple coactivators. Human ER alpha is 595 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a DNA binding region (aa 185-250), three NLSs (aa 256-260; 266-271; 299-303), a steroid-binding site (aa 351-543), a dimerization motif (aa 497-518), and an O-GlcNAc attachment around Thr575. Major phosphorylation sites exist at Tyr537, Ser167 and Ser118. Multiple splice forms exist. There is an 80 kDa isoform that shows a substitution (duplication) of aa 412-517 for Asp411, a second isoform with a deletion of aa 255-366, a third isoform with a deletion of aa 152-412, and a fourth isoform that shows a Thr substitution for aa 152-595. Human ER alpha is only 46% aa identical to human ER beta. Over aa 1-116, human ER alpha shares 85% aa identity with mouse ER alpha... Read More |
