Product Description
N-Acetylneuraminate Lyase E.Coli Recombinant
Overview
N-acetylneuraminate lyase (NanA) is a member of a family of lyases, specifically the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. NanA catalyzes the cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) to form pyruvate and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine. NanA is inhibited by reduction with NaBH4 in the presence of the substrate, which indicates that it belongs to the Schiff-base-forming Class I aldolases. NanA is strongly inhibited by Cu2+ ions, p-chloromercuribenzoate and N-bromosuccinimide, it is also inhibited competitively by the reaction product, pyruvate, and its structurally related compounds, dihydroxyacetone and DL-glyceraldehyde.
