Application

β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from is used to digest β -1,3-glucan, which is a major component of cell walls. β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from Helix pomatia has been used fto digest the cell walls of C. albicans .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Deletion of the C.albicans histidine kinase gene (CHK1) improves recognition by phagocytes through an increased exposure of cell wall b-1,3-glucans, which are readily digested by β-(1→3)-D-Glucanases .

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol of glucose from laminarin (Cat. No. 61340) per minute at pH 5.0 and 37 °C

Cell wall biogenesis is a dynamic process relying on the coordinated activity of several extracellular enzymes. PHR1 is a pH-regulated gene of Candida albicans encoding a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored β(1,3)-glucanosyltransferase of family GH72 which acts as a cell wall remodelling enzyme and
