Lysostaphin from Staphylococcus staphylolyticus
SIGMA/L7386 - lyophilized powder, Protein 50-70 % by biuret, ≥500 units/mg protein
Synonym: Glycyl-glycine Endopeptidase
CAS Number: 9011-93-2
MDL Number: MFCD00131556
Product Type: Chemical
Lysostaphin has endopeptidase activity, which cleaves polyglycine cross-links in the cellular wall of Staphylococcus species. Under certain conditions preparations may also exhibit hexosaminidase activity (specific for the glucosaminyl-muramic acid bond of the bacterial carbohydrate backbone, but does not react with S. aureus) and amidase activity.

| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lysostaphin is a zinc endopeptidase with a molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa. Because lysostaphin cleaves the polyglycine cross-links in the peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall of Staphylococcus species it has been found useful for cell lysis and also as a potential anti-microbial therapeutic. pH Optimum for activity: ~7.5 |
