The activity of human ENPP6 is measured by its property to cleave O-(4-Nitrophenylphosphoryl) choline with a specific activity >4,000 pmol/µg/min. -
Stability testing for human ENPP6. Human ENPP6 was aliquoted in 20 mM Tris, 0.3 M NaCl, pH 7.5 at 0.2 mg/ml; one aliquot was kept at 4°C (control) and another was freeze-thawed four times (4 x freeze-thaws). After this procedure, the samples were tested by its property to cleave O-(4-Nitrophenylphosphoryl) choline with a specific activity >4,000 pmol/µg/min. The blank included only buffer (20 mM Tris, 0.3 M NaCl, pH 7.5) and substrate.

ENPP6 (ectonucleotide phosphodiesterase/pyrophosphatase member 6) is a choline-specific glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase that is part of the Nucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases (NPPs) family. The NPPs are ubiquitous membrane-associated or secreted ectoenzymes. The NPP family is conserved in vertebrates and the mammals have seven structurally-related ecto-enzymes. The ENPP family is divided in two groups ENPP1–3 and ENPP4–7. ENPP1–3 are multidomain proteins consisting of two N-terminal somatomedin B-like domains, a central phosphodiesterase (PDE) catalytic domain, and a C-terminal nuclease-like domain, whereas ENPP4–7 have only the PDE domain in common. In vitro, ENPP6 has phosphodiesterase activity to choline-containing compounds such as glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC) and O-phosphorylcholine N-acyl ethanolamine to produce phosphocholine. In addition, ENPP6 hydrolyzes choline-containing lysophospholipids, such as lysophophocolin (LPC), sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), platelet-activating factor (PAF), and lysoPAF. Enpp6 has an active-site pocket that recognizes the choline head group of LPC substrates. ENPP6 is bound to the plasma membrane through its C-terminal glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor; also, the soluble form of ENPP6 has been identified.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
