General description
Chondroitinase ABC is a lyase with specificity toward chondroitin sulfates and dermatan sulfates - with some minor activity toward hyaluronan. This recombinant version only contains the endolytic chondroitinase, meaning it will not digest the non-reducing ends of proteoglycan substrates. It targets β-(1,4)-linkages between N-acetylgalactosamine and either D-glucuronic acid or L-iduronic acid. The product of digestion is a mixture of Δ 4-unsaturated tetra- and di-saccharides.
Application
- Degradation of Chondroitin sulfate-containing tissue such as extracellular matrices and cartilage
- Neural regeneration research
- Eliminative degradation of all forms of Chondroitin sulfate: A, B and C
- Quantitation of glucosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides)
Features and Benefits
- Low Endotoxin
- BSA Free
- Recombinant
- Endolytic component only, does not contain exolytic enzyme.
- Compatible with chondroitin 4-sulfate, chondroitin 6-sulfate, and dermatan sulfate, and acts slowly on hyaluronate
Components
Non active Ingredients: Hepes-Sodium salt, NaCl, Trehalose, Imidazole, Glycerol, Water
Unit Definition
1 unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of unsaturated disaccharides per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C, using chondroitin sulfate from shark cartilage (C4384) as substrate.
Storage and Stability
Store the product at -70 °C. When stored unopened at -70 °C, the buffer is stable for at least two years.
