In enzymology, a maltose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionmaltose + phosphate D-glucose + beta-D-glucose 1-phosphateThus, the two substrates of this enzyme are maltose and phosphate, whereas its two products are D-glucose and beta-D-glucose 1-phosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is maltose:phosphate 1-beta-D-glucosyltransferase.
This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
Applications:Suitable for Immunoblotting (Western or Dot Blot), ELISA, Immunoprecipitation, Conjugation andmost immunological methods.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:ELISA: 1:2000-1:10,000; 1ug of Maltose Phosphorylase was used in a standard sandwich ELISA with Rabbit anti-Goat (HRP) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]), A0030, as a substrate for 30 minutes at RT
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
