Product Description: Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, Bacillus sp. is a key enzyme in purine metabolism, involved in the purine salvage pathway. A deficiency in Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, Bacillus sp. can lead to impaired T-cell function. In the presence of inorganic phosphate as a second substrate, Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, Bacillus sp. catalyzes the cleavage of the glycosidic bond of ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides, producing purine bases and ribose (or deoxyribose)-1-phosphate. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, Bacillus sp. can be used for the determination of inorganic phosphate[1].
