Alkaline Phosphatase, Calf Intestinal (CIAP), Cloned
Applications:
- Removing Phosphate Groups from 5'-ends of Linear Vectors to Prevent Recircularization during Cloning
- Dephosphorylation of DNA prior to Kinase Labeling Reactions
Description:
Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase (CIAP) catalyzes the hydrolysis of 5'-phosphate groups from DNA and RNA. CIAP is supplied in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 50 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM ZnCl2 and 50% glycerol
Source:
Yeast
Buffer:
Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer [500 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 10 mM MgCl2].
Concentration:
10–30 U/μL
Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that generates 1 μmol/min of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenylphosphate at 37°C and pH 9.8.
Storage:
–20°C
