Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (E.C.3.1.3.1)

Technical Information


Source: Arctic shrimp (Pandalus borealis).

Description: A high specific activity, heat-labile alkaline phosphatase.

Unit definition: One unit catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1 μmol of
p-nitrophenyl phosphate per minute at pH 10.4 (glycine/NaOH buffer) at 37°C.

Purity: The enzyme is purified to apparent homogeneity and is free of all contaminating endonucleases, exonucleases and ribonucleases.

Activity: 1 unit/μl.

Storage conditions: 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 1 mM MgCl2,
0.1 mM ZnCl2 and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C.

Note: Completely and irreversibly inactivated in Tris buffers at
pH 8.0-8.5 by heating for 15 min at 65°C. No further treatment is necessary.

Functional testing: Dephosphorylation of a restriction enzyme digested plasmid (5-20 pmol of 5'-ends, 0.1-0.5 units/pmol 5'-ends). Reduces re-ligation to < 0.5% compared to the untreated control.

Supplied with 10× reaction buffer: 200 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0,
100 mM MgCl2.

Supplied with dilution buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0.
