Analysis Note
Protein determined by Warburg-Christian
Application
May be used to assay the protein activator, calmodulin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hydrolyzes the 3′,5′-phosphodiester in cyclic nucleotide monophosphates, such as cAMP and cGMP, to the corresponding nucleotide 5′-monophosphate.
Packaging
Package size based on activated units
Preparation Note
Affinity purified preparation which has been depleted of calmodulin.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 50% glycerol. The total activated units of enzyme will remain constant for at least 5 days when stored at −20 °C. However, the calmodulin-deficient activity may increase up to 200%. Both the activated and calmodulin-deficient activity may decrease approximately 30% in 24 hours if stored at 4 °C.
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of 3′,5′-cyclic-AMP to 5′-AMP per min at pH 7.5 at 30 °C.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing Tris-HCl buffer salts and lactose
