The Sialyltransferase Activity Kit (Catalog # EA002) provides a simple, non-radioactive high-throughput compatible format for assaying the enzyme activity of all sialyltransferases regardless of different acceptor substrates. This kit utilizes the 5’-nucleotidase CD73 as a coupling phosphatase to remove inorganic phosphate quantitatively from the leaving nucleotide cytidine 5’-monophosphate (CMP) that is generated during sialyltransferase reactions.
Features
Applicable for all sialyltransferases
Non-radioactive
No time-consuming separation steps (e.g. column chromatography)
Provides accurate kinetic analysis of sialyltransferase reactions
Amenable to high-throughput analysis
Kit Contents

Data Example
Activity of ST6GALNAC2
The ability of Recombinant Mouse ST6 Sialyltransferase 2/ST6GALNAC2 (Catalog # 6468-GT) to transfer Neu5Ac (sialic acid) from CMP-Neu5Ac to bovine asialofetuin was measured using the Sialyltransferase Activity Kit (Catalog # EA002). The activity was plotted against enzyme input, and the specific activity of ST6GALNAC2 was determined to be 774 pmol/min/μg.
