Apyrase from potatoes, ATPase 3.0-40.0 units/mg protein, lyophilized powder

Application

Apyrase is used to hydrolyze nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates. Apyrase, from Sigma, has been used in inhibition studies of platelet-aggregation .

At least two isoenzymes are found in different varieties of S. tuberosum: one with a high ATPase/ADPase ratio (~10) and another with a low ratio (~1).Reaction: ATP → ADP+Pi → AMP+2Pi.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Apyrase is found in all eukaryotes and some prokaryotes. Apyrase, from potato, has a crucial role in regulating growth and development. Apyrase is involved in the inactivation of synaptic ATP as a neurotransmitter following nerve stimulation and in the inhibition of ADP induced platelet aggregation to prevent thrombosis . Divalent metal ions are required for activity and best activity is observed with calcium ion at 5 mM.

Other Notes

Mixture of high and low ratio isoenzymes.
