Enzyme Commission Number
EC 5.1.3.24
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
N-acetyl-α-neuraminate = N-acetyl-β-neuraminate
Systematic Name
N-acetyl-α-neuraminate 2-epimerase
Function
Sialoglycoconjugates present in vertebrates are linked exclusively by α-linkages and are released in α form during degradation. This enzyme accelerates maturotation to the β form (which also occurs as a slow spontaneous reaction), which is necessary for further metabolism by the bacteria.
Other name
sialic acid epimerase; N-acetylneuraminate mutarotase; YjhT
Production Methods
Fermentation
Package
on customer request
Applications
Research Use
Storage
Should be stored in a dry and cool place, avoiding high temperature.
Appearance / Form
powder or liquid
Odor
Normal microbial fermentation odour.
WARNINGS
Keep sealed after use every time to avoid microbial infections and inactivation of enzymes until its finish.
Description
Microbial enzymes have been used in a large number of fields, such as chemical, agricultural and biopharmaceutical industries. Our enzyme production services are based on bacteria, fungi, and yeast, from strain selection, optimization, and process development to scale-up production.
