Abbr
APase, Native (Potato)
Applications
Phosphatase acid from potato has been used in a study to develop a method of efficient enzymatic hydrolysis of polyprenyl pyrophosphates. It has also been used in a study to investigate the kinetics of the hydrolysis of sodium p-nitrophenylphosphate and other phosphoric acid monoesters.
Product Overview
Acid phosphatase from potatoes is a 111 kDa diner consisting of two subunits at 41 and 35 kDa. This phosphatase has also been shown to cleave DNA.
