HEXA Human, Sf9

Data sheet

Formulation

HEXA protein solution (0. 5mg/ml) contains phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4).

Purity

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

HEXA produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 513 amino acids (23-529a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 59.2kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 50-70kDa). HEXA is expressed with a

Protein Background

HEXA is the alpha subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase which, combined with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules having N-acetyl hexosamines terminus. The two subunits com
