Description
Description: NEU1 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 393 amino acids (48-415) and having a molecular mass of 42.9 kDa.NEU1 is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Sialidase 1 (NEU1) is a lysosomal enzyme which cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from substrates such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. In the lysosome, the NEU1 enzyme is part of a heterotrimeric complex in cooperation with beta-galactosidase and cathepsin A. NEU1 gene mutations may lead to sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease that can be the type 1 (cherry red -myoclonus syndrome or normosomatic type), which is late-onset, or the type 2 (the dysmorphic type), which takes place at an earlier age with increased acuteness
