Sulfatase (C008B-265637)

Sulfonation and sulfation are important processes in the metabolism of compounds such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and drugs. Sulfonation and sulfation are catalyzed by various sulfotransferases. In turn, desulfonation and desulfation occur via the action of sulfatase. Several sulfatases occur in Helix pomatia (also known as Roman Snail). Early studies indicated the presence of at least two such sulfatases. One publication on two sulfatases isolated from Helix pomatia indicated molecular mass values of ~85 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. More recent work has postulated that Helix pomatia contains at least three sulfatases. In vitro, this Helix pomatia sulfatase product has been used for deconjugation studies of various compounds, including:• Environmental contaminants, such as bisphenol A• Hirudin• Vitamin E metabolites• β-adrenoreceptor agonists• Lignans from carob germ and carob seed This product is a lyophilized powder. It is known to contain β-glucuronidase activity. For this reason, β-glucuronidase activity of this product is also determined.Biochem/physiol ActionsSulfatase from Helix pomatia facilitates the synthesis of thiohydroximates. It causes the hydrolysis of β-naphthyl sulfate much faster than a-naphthyl sulfate and possesses regiospecificity in the hydrolysis of ortho and para substituted phenyl sulfates.Enzymatic Assay of SULFATASEPRINCIPLE:CONDITIONS: T = 37°C, pH = 5.0, A515nm, Light path = 1 cm METHOD: ColorimetricREAGENTS: A. 200 mM Sodium Acetate Buffer, pH 5.0 at 37°C(Prepare 50 ml in deionized water using Sodium Acetate, Trihydrate.
