Properties
Description
It is an recombinant Campylobacter jejuni α2,8-sialyltransferase (CstII) produced in E. coli. This product can be used to study the mode of action of the enzyme and its potential inhibitors, and can also be used as a glycoengineering tool to modify glycoproteins in vitro.
Unit Definition
One unit will catalyze the formation of 1 umol Siaα(2-3)Lac from CMP-Sia and lactose per minute at 37°C.
Source
Campylobacter jejuni
Purity
>95%, determined by SDS-PAGE.
Applications
Study the mode of action of the enzyme and its potential inhibitors and as a glycoengineering tool to modify glycoproteins in vitro.
