Cleaves α(1→3)- and α(1→6)-linked, non-reducing terminal galactose from complex carbohydrates and glycoproteins. It is particularly efficient for removing α-linked galactose under conditions where the pH must be neutral or above, for example, with live cells.
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze 1 μmole of p-nitrophenyl α-D-galactopyranoside per min at pH 6.5 at 25 °C.
Physical form
This product is a sterile-filtered aqueous buffered solution.

The utilization by Escherichia coli K12 of raffinose as sole carbon source depends on a new raffinose transport system, an invertase and an alpha-galactosidase specified by the Raf-plasmid D1021. The alpha-galactosidase was purified to homogeneity from a mutant strain with

For wide applications of the lacZ gene in cellular/molecular biology, small animal investigations, and clinical assessments, the improvement of noninvasive imaging approaches to precisely assay gene expression has garnered much attention. In this study, we investigate a novel molecular platform
Bifidobacterium bifidum is one of the most frequently found bifidobacteria in the intestines of newborn infants. We previously reported that B. bifidum possesses unique metabolic pathways for O-linked glycans on gastrointestinal mucin (Yoshida E, Sakurama H, Kiyohara M, Nakajima M

The α-galactosidase AgaA from the thermophilic microorganism Geobacillus stearothermophilus has great industrial potential because it is fully active at 338 K against raffinose and can increase the yield of manufactured sucrose. AgaB has lower affinity for its natural substrates but

Enzymatical conversion of A or B RBCs into group O RBCs (ECORBCs) was achieved by using α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and α-galactosidase, respectively. Now, we initiated AB to O-RBC conversion by using these two enzymes together. But α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and α-galactosidase's preserving and their
