SYNONYMS
lacZ, beta-gal, β-gal.
INTRODUCTION
Beta-galactosidase is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of Beta-galactosides into monosaccharides. Substrates of different Beta-galactosidases include ganglioside GM1, lactosylceramides, lactose, and various glycoproteins. Beta-galactosidase is produced In E. coli by activation of the lac operon as the lacZ gene.
DESCRIPTION
The E.Coli derived recombinant protein Beta-galactosidase (114 kDa) is enzymatically inactive and Non-reactive with human serum.
