beta-Galactosidase from Escherichia coli, Grade VIII, lyophilized powder, >=500 units/mg protein

Application

?-Galactosidase is conjugated to an antibody which specifically recognizes a target molecule (enzyme immunoassay or EIA). ?-Galactosidase is also used as a reporter enzyme to monitor the level of gene expression of a promoter. It may be used as a positive control protein with anti-?-galactosidase antibodies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-galactosidase cleaves lactose into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose. It also catalyses the transglycosylation of glucose into allolactose, the inducer of β-galactosidase, in a feedback loop.

General description

?-Galactosidase is a tetramer consisting of four equal subunits of 135,000 each. It is a sulfhydryl containing enzyme, with 19 cysteine residues per subunit.

Packaging
