Pyrophosphatase, Inorganic from Baker′s Yeast (S. cerevisiae) by Molecular Depot is an inorganic pyrophosphatase from baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which hydrolyses inorganic pyrophosphate into two phosphate ions. The page notes that it is used to adjust nucleotide levels and control enzymatic reactions, and that the reaction matters for nucleic acid synthesis, energy metabolism and phosphate balance. It is used to drive polymerase and ligase reactions forward by removing pyrophosphate, in pyrosequencing systems and in enzyme kinetics work. Each unit contains 100 U. MBP supplies Molecular Depot enzyme reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
