Chitodextrinase is a unique membrane-bound endoenzyme. The chitodextrinase enzyme cleaves soluble oligomers, but not chitin, to the di- and trisaccharides. Chitodextrinase is unable to solubilize chitin, but it can catalyze the hydrolysis of high to low molecular weight soluble chitin oligosaccharides.
Chitodextrinase Clostridium Botulinum Recombinant fused with a 13 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 590 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 66.9kDa. The Chitodextrinase is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
