Description:
Alkaline Phosphatase SAP1 catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters. Has higher turnover rate and milder conditions of inactivation than bacterial enzyme. Can be used to remove 5′-phosphates from DNA or RNA prior to 5′-end labeling. Used to remove 5′-phosphates from linearized vector molecules to prevent self-ligation of the vector during cloning procedures. Applicable to dephosphorylation of proteins.
