Bacteroides Heparinase III (also called Heparin Lyase III) is cloned from Bacteroides eggerthii. It is active on both heparin and heparan sulfate.
Bacteroides Heparinase III can cleave the glycosidic bond between hexosamines and either iduronic acid or glucuronic acid residues. It is active in the presence of 6-sulfation. The reaction yields oligosaccharide products containing unsaturated uronic acids, which can be detected by UV spectroscopy at 232 nm
The following reagents are supplied with this product:
NEB # | Component Name | Component # | Stored at (°C) | Amount | Concentration |
1X Bacteroides Heparinase Reaction Buffer
Incubate at 30°C
20 mM Tris-HCl
100 mM NaCl
5 mM CaCl2
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C
Heparinase III cleaves less sulfated HS chains.
Bacteroides Heparinase III is most active between pH 7.0 - 8.0.
Bacteroides Heparinase III is calcium dependent and has greatest activity in the presence of 1.5 - 5mM CaCl2.
Bacteroides Heparinase III can be used in double digests with Bacteroides Heparinase I and II using the Heparinase reaction buffer.
