Properties
Description
Recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis feruloyl esterase 1C produced by Escherichia coli, plays a role in cleaving the ester link between the polysaccharide main chain of xylans and monomeric or dimeric ferulates. It is produced in Escherichia coli.
Expression System
Escherichia coli
Species
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Purity
≥90%, determined by SDS-PAGE.
Activity
Feruloyl esterases
Buffer
35 mM NaHepes buffer (pH 7.5), 750 mM NaCl, 200 mM imidazole, 3.5 mM CaCl2, and 25% (v/v) glycerol
Applications
Recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis feruloyl esterase 1C can be used in research for paper, pulp, food, nutrition, medical and pharmacological industries. It participates in the de-esterification of ferulate crosslinks between hemicelluloses and lignin.
