Relevance

Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs. Shows high catalytic efficiency for hydrolysis of cocaine, 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate, heroin and 6-monoacetylmorphine. Hydrolyzes aspirin, substrates with large alcohol group and small acyl group and endogenous lipids such as triacylglycerol. Converts monoacylglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol. Hydrolyzes of 2-arachidonoylglycerol and prostaglandins.

Endotoxin

Less than 1.0 EU/μg as determined by LAL method.

Purity

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Activity

Yes

Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to hydrolyze p-nitrophenylacetate. The specific activity is >40000 pmol/min/µg.

Form

Lyophilized powder

Buffer

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm sterile filtered 20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Molecular Weight

Storage Conditions

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
