α2-3 Neuraminidase is a highly specific exoglycosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of α2-3 and, at a much lower rate, α2-6 linked N-acetyl-neuraminic acid residues from oligosaccharides. This enzyme has a 260-fold preference for α2-3 sialyl linkages over α2-6 sialyl linkages and shows only trace activity against α2-8 sialyl linkages (1).
Substrate Specificity:
Product Source
Cloned from Salmonella typhimurium LT2 and overexpressed in E. coli (1).
Reagents Supplied
The following reagents are supplied with this product:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave > 95% of the αNeu5Ac from 1 nmol of Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-4Glc-7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (AMC), in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl.
Unit Definition Assay Two fold dilutions of α2-3 Neuraminidase are incubated with 1 nmol AMC-labeled substrate and 1X GlycoBuffer 1, supplemented with 100 µg/ml BSA, in a 10 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Separation of reaction products are visualized via thin layer chromatography (3).
