Application
Aqueous solution may be used directly for derivatization without previous dialysis or gel permeation chromatography.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-galactosidase cleaves lactose into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose. It also catalyses the transglycosylation of glucose into allolactose, the inducer of β-galactosidase, in a feedback loop.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
Physical properties
Tetramer molecular weight 465 kDa (subunits 116.3 kDa each)
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes 1 μmol 2-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (Cat. No. 73660) per minute at pH 7.8 and 37 °C

A sensitive and specific double-antibody enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for a thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH)-like immunoreactive substance has been developed. In order to synthesize TRH-labeled beta-D-galactosidase (beta-gal), a newly devised TRH derivative, pGlu-His-Pro-NH-(CH2)6-NH2 (TRH-Hex), was employed. TRH-Hex was linked to beta-gal
