Pectinase, aspergillus niger
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pectinase (EC 3.2.1.15) is a mixed enzymes that hydrolyze pectic substances, it mostly presents in microorganisms and higher plants. Pectinase is involved in the metabolism of the cell wall as well as in the growth of the cell, senescence, ripening of fruits, pathogenesis and abscission process.

Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining
Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining detects β-galactosidase activity that is histochemically visible at pH 6. 0 in senescent cells, where X-gal cleavage produces an insoluble blue precipitate observable by bright-field microscopy. This activity reflects increased lysosomal β-galactosidase/lysosomal mass rather than a senescence-essential enzyme, because GLB1 depletion or genetic lysosomal β-galactosidase deficiency can abolish SA-β-gal staining while cells still undergo senescence. SA-β-gal was originally reported in senescent but not presenescent fibroblasts and keratinocytes, absent from quiescent fibroblasts and terminally differentiated keratinocytes, and increased with donor age in human skin samples. Because SA-β-gal can also appear in some non-senescent or tissue-specific contexts, interpretation should be paired with experimental controls and, when possible, independent senescence markers.
