Chitinase Protein (OPPA02599)

Catalog No: OPPA02599 (Formerly GWB-BSP149)

Size:20UG

Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Clostridium paraputrificum
• Product Format: Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in PBS.
  Physical appearance: Sterile filtered white powder.
• Reconstitution and Storage: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Chitinase in sterile 18M-omega-cm H₂O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Chitinase should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
  Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Purification: Purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Target Info

• Gene Symbol: Chitinase
• Alias Symbols: Recombinant Chitinase
• Description of Target: Chitinase Clostridium Paraputrificum Recombinant fused with a His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 582 amino acids. Chitinase is a digestive enzyme which breaks down glycosidic bonds in chitin. Due to chitin being a component of the cell walls of fungi and exoskeletal elements of some animals (including worms and arthropods), chitinases are usually found in organisms that either need to remake their own chitin or to dissolve and digest the chitin of fungi or animals. Chitinivorous organisms include many bacteria genuses such as Aeromonas, Bacillus, Vibrio, among others, which may be pathogenic or detritivorous. Chitinase expression is mediated by the NPR1 gene and the salicylic acid pathway, both of which are involved in resisting fungal and insect attack. Human chitinases appear in gastric juices. They are likely to be digestive chitinases, for catabolic activity. Chitinase activity is identified systemically in humans, in the blood, and possibly cartilage. Chitinase has been related to allergies, asthma in particular has been linked to enhanced chitinase expression levels, also dust mites and mold spores which are both chitin covered.
