Overview

Product Description

alpha-D-mannosidase, p-nitrophenyl-alpha-mannosidase, alpha-D-mannopyranosidase, alpha mannosidase, exo-alpha-mannosidase

Alpha Mannosidase from Jack Bean cleaves α(1-2,3,6)-linked mannose.

This enzyme is often used in conjunction with Core Alpha-(1-6) Mannosidase (E-AM02) if a noncleavable core α(1-6) mannose is present on the substrate.

Specificty

All Alpha-(1-2,3,6)-linked mannose

Purity

Each lot of α(1-2,3,6) mannosidase is tested for contaminating substances by incubating the enzyme for 24 hours at 37°C with substrates indicated in the table below. No detectable activity is evident for any of these potential contaminants. The detection limit of this assay is 5 μU/mL (IUB).

For the protease assay, 10 μg of denatured BSA is incubated for 24 hours with 2 μl of enzyme. Analysis of the BSA band after SDS-PAGE should show no evidence of degradation.

Molecular weight

two polypeptides of 64,000 and 44,000 daltons

Specific Activity Assay

One unit of Alpha Mannosidase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1 µmole of p-nitrophenyl-alpha-p-mannoside to p-nitrophenol in 1 minute at pH 5.0 and 37˚C.
