| Description | Neuraminidase is an important deglycosylation enzyme capable of cleaving all non-reducing unbranched N-acetylneuraminic and N-glycolylneuraminic acid residues by hydrolysis of α(2→6), α(2→3), α(2→8), and α(2→9) linkages (affinity in the order given). Neuraminidase is an important deglycosylation enzyme capable of cleaving all non-reducing unbranched N-acetylneuraminic and N-glycolylneuraminic acid residues by hydrolysis of α(2→6), α(2→3), α(2→8), and α(2→9) linkages (affinity in the order given). Branched sialic acids may also be cleaved with the use of high concentrations of enzyme and prolonged incubations. Desialylated glycoproteins may then be further characterized by treatment with various exoglycosidases resulting in partial or complete O-deglycosylation. SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF MS are typically utilized in purification, structural analysis, and sequencing process. These techniques also remove heterogeneity and charge from the glycoprotein...

It is a secreted phosphoglycoprotein that belongs to the clade F subfamily, serpin superfamily of proteinase inhibitors. The PEDF is a Purity>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.FunctionPigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is encoded by the SERPINF1 gene in humans and found in verebrates. It is a secreted phosphoglycoprotein that belongs to the clade F subfamily, serpin superfamily of proteinase inhibitors. The PEDF is a noninhibitory serpin with neurotrophic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumorigenic properties. It is synthesized as a 418 a.a. about 50kDa precursor that contains a 19 a.a. signal sequence and a 399 a.a. mature region that shows a pyroglutamate at Gln20. Like other serpins, it contains three β-sheets, 810 α-helices, and a C-terminal RCL (reactive center loop). Unlike other serpins with Ser protease inhibiting activity. PEDF has functions of inducing extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells, inhibiting of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. PEDF is researched as a therapeutic candidate for treatment of such conditions as choroidal neovascularization, heart disease, and cancer... Read More |
