| Application: | Invertase Glycoprotein Standard has been used: • to generate N-linked glycan library • as a negative control to study the binding of lectins to high mannose structures • for sample pre-treatment in proteomic analyses to study drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis |
| Application: | The Invertase Glycoprotein Standard can be used to demonstrate N-glycosylation using PNGase F with both in-solution and in-gel procedures. The extent of deglycosylation can be assessed by mobility shift on SDS-PAGE gels. |
| Application: | Used in the production of confectionary foods and artificial honey. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Invertase hydrolyzes sucrose into glucose and fructose yielding a colorless product, unlike acid hydrolysis which produces colored products. |
| Other Notes: | Invertase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of sucrose into fructose and glucose. Invertase Glycoprotein Standard is the periplasmic (glycosylated form, external invertase) with 50% of its mass as polymannan. Since yeast can provide an alternative system for protein glycosylation that is similar to mammalian systems, periplasmic invertase is often used as a model for the study of the function of oligosaccharides in glycoproteins and for studies on glycoprotein biosynthesis. |
