Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) containing 10% glycerol, 2mM DTT, 100mM NaCl . NANP (N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphatase), also known as HDHD4 (Haloacid dehalogenase-like hydrolase domain-containing protein 4), is belongs to the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) family and is responsible for dephosphorylating N-acylneuraminate 9-phosphate to form N-acylneuraminate (N-acylneuraminate 9-phosphate + H2O = N-acylneuraminate + phosphate). Characteristic of the HAD phosphatase family, the catalytic activity of NANP is dependent upon the presence of magnesium and is inhibited by vanadate and calcium. Recombinant human NANP protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
