Sialidases are a family of exoglycosidases that catalyze the cleavage of non-reducing sialic acid residues of mono- or oligosaccharide chains on glycoconjugates. Krishzyme Sialidase is offered in a lyophilized format. This enzyme cleaves alpha2,3-, alpha2,6- and alpha2,8- linked sialic acids. Because of its broad substrate specificity, Krishzyme Sialidase is capable of completely removing sialic acids from glycoconjugates of a wide variety of biological materials (cells, antibodies, serum, tissues etc).
1 Unit of enzyme will completely de-sialate 10 ?g of denatured alpha 1 anti-trypsin following incubation for 10 minutes at 37?C. 1 Unit = 1 IUB milliunit.
