Description

Ec 3.1.4.3 CAS NO 9001-86-9 is a high-purity phospholipase D enzyme, a critical biocatalyst for the modification of phospholipids. This enzyme is essential for industrial processes requiring the precise hydrolysis or transphosphatidylation of phospholipid substrates. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food ingredient, and specialty chemical sectors for applications such as lecithin modification and the synthesis of high-value phospholipids.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Synthesis of specialized phospholipids for drug delivery systems, including liposomes and lipid nanoparticles.
• Food Ingredient Production: Enzymatic modification of lecithin to improve its emulsification properties or to create novel functional ingredients.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Used in the preparation of enzyme substrates or components for clinical diagnostic kits and biochemical assays.
• Biocatalysis & Research: A key tool in organic synthesis and biochemical research for the selective head-group exchange of phospholipids.
• Nutraceuticals: Production of structured phospholipids with enhanced nutritional or bioavailability profiles.
