Description
The enzyme catalyses the polymerization of β-D-mannuronate residues into a mannuronan polymer, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of alginate. It is found in brown algae and in alginate-producing bacterial species from the Pseudomonas and Azotobacter genera.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
mannuronosyl transferase; alginate synthase (incorrect); alg8 (gene name); alg44 (gene name); GDP-D-mannuronate:alginate D-mannuronyltransferase
Reaction
GDP-α-D-mannuronate + [(1→4)-β-D-mannuronosyl]n = GDP + [(1→4)-β-D-mannuronosyl]n+1
