The product contains substantial hemicellulase, cellulase, pectinesterase and xylanase activities which together with pectin lyase and polygalacturonase work Purified pectinase is a multi-component preparation highly effective in depolymerizing plant pectins with varying degrees of esterification. The product contains substantial hemicellulase, cellulase, pectinesterase and xylanase activities which together with pectin lyase and polygalacturonase work synergistically to digest plant cell wall tissues. When used with Worthington purified cellulase, purified pectinase has been found to be highly successful for generating good yields of viable protoplasts in several plant systems, e.g., corn, soybean, red beet, sunflower, tomato and citrus. In general, a concentration range of 0.1% to 0.5% pectinase (with accompanying 0.5% to 1.5% cellulase) used at 24°C to 37°C for periods of 1 to 16 hours will yield good results...

It cleaves heme to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and iron. The biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Purity:>98%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:Heme oxygenase (HMOX) is the rate limiting enzyme in heme catabolism. It cleaves heme to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and iron. The biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. The mechanism of HMOX is unique in that heme serves as the substrate of the enzyme and as the prosthetic group for the activation of iron-bound O2. HMOX activity is highest in spleen where senescent erythrocytes are sequestered and destroyed. Two isoforms, HMOX1 and HMOX2, are expressed in most tissues. HMOX1 is an inducible enzyme in response to heme, heavy metals, oxidative stress, cytokines, and many drugs. Whereas HMOX2 displays a constitutive expression. HMOX1 is expressed mainly in spleen, liver, and kidney, and HMOX2 is prominently expressed in the brain and testes. The increased expression of HMOX1 levels is related to a variety of pathological states, where it functions as a cytoprotective molecule through its by products. HMOX1 also plays important roles in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis...
