Description

Apyrase is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the stepwise dephosphorylation of ATP and ADP to AMP and inorganic phosphate. This product is essential for biochemical research and industrial processes requiring precise nucleotide management. It is primarily utilized by researchers in molecular biology, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and companies developing enzymatic assays for life science and pharmaceutical applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic assays to study ATP/ADP-dependent processes, such as kinase and ATPase activity.
• Diagnostic Kits: A key component in diagnostic assays for blood platelet function and coagulation studies.
• Nucleotide Scavenging: Employed to eliminate interfering ATP/ADP in sensitive biological systems and cell culture studies.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in drug discovery platforms targeting purinergic signaling pathways.
• Food Science: Potential application in modifying nucleotides to influence food flavor profiles.

Quality Control

Our Apyrase products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure high specific activity, purity, and lot-to-lot consistency suitable for research and industrial applications. Each batch is characterized for protein content, enzymatic activity (units/mg), and absence of contaminating nucleotidase activities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, activity, and stability are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at 2-8°C. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to maintain activity.
