Properties
Description
Recombinant Ruminococcus albus feruloyl esterase 1A produced by Escherichia coli, is responsible for the hydrolysis of the UDP-3-0-myristoyl-N-acetylglucosamine to transform UDP-3-O-myristoylglucosamine and acetate. It is produced in Escherichia coli.
Expression System
Escherichia coli
Species
Ruminococcus albus
Purity
