| Application: | β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from is used to digest β -1,3-glucan, which is a major component of cell walls. β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from Helix pomatia has been used fto digest the cell walls of C. albicans . |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Deletion of the C.albicans histidine kinase gene (CHK1) improves recognition by phagocytes through an increased exposure of cell wall b-1,3-glucans, which are readily digested by β-(1→3)-D-Glucanases . |
| Packaging: | Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone. |
| Unit Definition: | One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol of glucose from laminarin (Cat. No. 61340) per minute at pH 5.0 and 37 °C |
