Glycogen from oyster type 2

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Glycogen from oyster (type II) is a high molecular weight polysaccharide that serves as a storage form of glucose in certain organisms, including oysters. It is classified as a type II glycogen, which refers to its specific structural and functional characteristics. This product is intended for use in research and laboratory applications.

Discontinuous native PAGE was performed as described elsewhere [44] (link). Two different incubation solutions (a and b) were used to visualize starch synthase activities. The incubation buffer (a) contained 50 mM Tricine/KOH (pH 8.0), 25 mM K-acetate, 5 mM DTE, 2 mM EDTA, 0.025% (w/v) bovine serum albumin, and 1 mM ADPglucose (either purchased from Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany or synthesised using recombinant AGPase from E. coli as described in Fettke et al. [44] (link)). Buffer (a) was used for gels that contained 0.02% (w/v) glycogen from oyster (type II, Sigma). Gels without any glucan were incubated with buffer (b) that contained in addition 500 mM Na-citrate (pH 8.0). After electrophoresis the gels were equilibrated for 20 min in the respective buffer, but ADPglucose was omitted. Gels were incubated overnight at room temperature and stained with iodine.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
