Pyrophosphatase, Inorganic from Escherichia coli by Molecular Depot is an inorganic pyrophosphatase from Escherichia coli, which hydrolyses inorganic pyrophosphate into two phosphate ions. The page notes that the enzyme takes part in nucleotide metabolism and energy production and helps maintain cellular balance. It is used to drive polymerase, ligase and transcription reactions forward by removing pyrophosphate, in pyrosequencing systems and in enzyme kinetics work. Each unit contains 1 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot enzyme reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
