Product Description
α-Galactosidase (CAS No. 9025-35-8) is a glycoside hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing α-D-galactose residues from various substrates. It acts on α-galactosidic linkages found in certain oligosaccharides and complex carbohydrates.
α-Galactosidase is widely studied in enzymology, carbohydrate research, and food science. It has applications in the processing of plant-based ingredients, the breakdown of selected oligosaccharides, and the development of enzyme-based formulations. Its performance depends on the enzyme source, activity, pH, temperature, and substrate characteristics. Buyers should confirm enzyme activity units, source organism, formulation, and storage requirements through the supplier's COA, TDS, and SDS.
