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)... Read More | Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a cytokine found by Rubin et al.

KGF is an effective epithelial-specific growth factor secreted by mesenchymal cells and distributed in epithelialKeratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a cytokine found by Rubin et al. (1989) from the culture supernatant of embryonic lung fibroblasts, which is a member of the FGF family, namely FGF-7. KGF is an effective epithelial-specific growth factor secreted by mesenchymal cells and distributed in epithelial cells. Its mitotic activity is mainly manifested in keratinocytes, which can specifically promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of epithelial cells. It is closely related to organ development, wound repair, tumor genesis and immune reconstruction.Activity definition: The ED50 value is less than 1.0 ng/ml, that is, the corresponding activity unit is greater than or equal to 1 x 10*6 units/mg, as determined by the proliferation method of cultured MCF-7 cells...

Streptavidin homo-tetramers have an extraordinarily high affinity for biotin. With a dissociation constant on the order of ≈10⁻¹⁴ mol/L, the binding of biotin to streptavidin is one of the strongest non-covalent interactions known in nature. Unlike egg-white avidin, which has a net positive charge at neutral pH and contains about 7% carbohydrate, streptavidin has almost no net charge at neutral pH, does not contain carbohydrate, and exhibits lower non-specific background. Streptavidin conjugates are widely used together with a conjugate of biotin for specific detection of a variety of proteins, protein motifs, nucleic acids and other molecules. This FITC-streptavidin conjugate was prepared by highly purified Streptavidin and free FITC was removed. Streptavidin (FITC) is a useful second-step reagent for the indirect immunofluorescent staining of cells in combination with biotinylated primary antibodies for flow cytometric analysis. Excitation at 488nm light leads to a fluorescence emission maximum of 520 nm.Recommended Usage：Every lot of Streptavidin-FITC is tested by flow cytometry using biotinylated primary antibodies. From this testing it is recommended that between 0.02 and 0.25 µg of streptavidin be used per 106 cells in a 100 µl staining volume... Read More |
