L-Asparaginase

Ref. 3D-ENZ-287

Product Information

• Name: L-Asparaginase
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-asparaginase is a drug that inhibits the production of asparagine, which is an amino acid that is used in the synthesis of proteins. It has been shown to be effective against T-cell lymphomas, as well as other cancers such as leukemia and colorectal cancer. L-Asparaginase has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial functions in blood samples from patients with prostate cancer. This inhibition may lead to cell death. L-Asparaginase binds to the sephadex G-100 column in a similar manner to sodium citrate and prevents the formation of polymers when it combines with ATP. The enzyme can also be found in primary cells and liver cells, where it causes hypoglycemia by inhibiting glucose production. L-Asparaginase also inhibits dna synthesis by binding to DNA polymerases, preventing their attachment to nucleotide triphosphates (e.g., ATP).
