Alkaline Phosphatase, Shrimp
Applications:
- Dephosphorylation of 5'-Terminal Phosphate Groups from DNA
Description:
Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (SAP) nonspecifically catalyzes the dephosphorylation of most phosphate monoesters, but it does not degrade diphosphate or triphosphate linkages. It is irreversibly inactivated by heat denaturation at 65°C for 15 minutes.
Source:
Shrimp (Pandalus borealis)
Buffer:
Supplied with 1ml 10X SAP Buffer [500 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 50 mM MgCl2].
Unit Definition:
One unit is the amount of enzyme that produces 1 μmol/min of p-nitrophenol per minute at 37°C and pH 9.6 using p-nitrophenylphosphate as the substrate.
Concentration:
1 U/μL
Storage:
–20°C
