Native Porcine Kidney Mutarotase

Specification

• Cat#: THP-168
• Product Name: Native Porcine Kidney Mutarotase
• Description: Mutarotase, which catalyzes the mutarotation of certain sugars was discovered by accident in 1949 (Bentley, R., and Neuberger, A., Biochem. J., 45, 584, 1949). Keston (Keston, A.S., Science , 120, 355, 1954) reported the occurrence of an enzyme of similar characteristics in animal tissues such as rat liver and kidneys of porcine, rabbit, chicken, rat, bovine and lamb. Later, Keston reported partial purification by adsorption with phosphate gel and chloroform treatment (Keston, A.S., Federation Proc., 14, 234, 1955). He has also considered the kinetics and distribution of mutarotases of various animals and their possible relation to sugar transport (Keston, A.S., J. Biol. Chem., 239, 3241, 1964). A controversial question concerning the postulated inhibition of kidney mutarotase by its own substrate, glucose, has been resolved (Li, L.K., Chase, A.M. and Lapedes, S.L., J. Cell Comp. Physiol., 64, 283, 1964).
