Packaging
25000, 125000, 500000 units in poly bottle
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of lactose per minute at pH at 4.5 at 30 °C.
Application
β-Galactosidase was used for reversed-phase (RP) adsorption.[2] It was also used in the hydrolysis of whey lactose.[3]
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.[1]
