Application

Oxaloacetate Decarboxylase from Pseudomonas sp. has been used in the digestion ofthe low molecular weight (LMW) human milk fraction (5kF fraction) and as a positive control for deciphering C. thermocellum oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity.

Oxaloacetate decarboxylase has been used in a study to assess turnover and accessibility of a reentrant loop of the Na(+)-glutamate transporter GltS. It has also been used in a study to investigate fermentation and metabolic characteristics of Gluconacetobacter oboediens for different carbon sources.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oxaloacetate Decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate and requires manganese and magnesium for its activity. It is associated with a wide vareity of Gram-negative bacteria.

General description

Oxaloacetate decarboxylase or OAD functions as a Na pump in anaerobic bacteria. It is a membrane protein consisting of three subunits, ?, ? and ? with the ? subunit containing the carboxylase activity.

Packaging

500, 1000 units in glass bottle

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 µmole of oxalacetate to pyruvate and CO₂ per min at pH 8.0 at 25 °C.
