General description

Pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase
The enzyme pyrophosphatase is ubiquitously distributed in a number of organisms.

Specificity

Specific activity: Approximately 200 U/mg at +25°C with inorganic pyrophosphate as the substrate.

Application

Inorganic pyrophosphatase has been used in enzyme assays and enzyme inhibition studies.
Pyrophosphatase, inorganic (PPase) has been used in :
  • Enzymatic nitric oxide (NO) detection system
  • In vitro transcription
  • Multiply-primed rolling circle amplification

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inorganic pyrophosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate to orthophosphate.
Mg ions are necessary for catalytic activity of crystalline pyrophosphatase.

Quality

Contaminants: <0.01% ATPase and phosphatases, each (at pH 7 and 4-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate).

Physical form

Suspension in 3.2 M ammonium sulfate solution, pH approximately 6
