  • Apyrase (recombinant, E. coli) is a highly active ATP-diphosphohydrolase that catalyses the sequential hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and ADP to AMP releasing inorganic phosphate. It is a recombinant version of one of several isoforms of apyrase. It can also hydrolyse 5´ tri- and diphosphate ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides to their respective 5´ monophosphates (1). Apyrase can catalyse the conversion of 5´ triphosphorylated RNA to 5´ monophosphorylated RNA by sequential removal of γ and β phosphates (2).

    • Product Notes

      1. Apyrase has a higher ratio of activity for ATP:ADP (14:1).
      2. Apyrase is a calcium-activated enzyme. It is approximately 50% active when Mg2+ substitutes Ca2+ in Apyrase Reaction Buffer.
      3. As a metal-dependent enzyme, Apyrase can be inhibited by EGTA and EDTA.
      4. The activity of Apyrase is approximately 30% in NEBuffers r1.1, r2.1, r3.1 and rCutSmart™ Buffer.
      5. Apyrase does not remove 5´ caps from eukaryotic mRNA.
