L-Asparaginase is a critical enzyme catalyst used in industrial biopharmaceutical synthesis. It hydrolyzes L-asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia. The core process involves bacterial fermentation, typically using E. coli or Serratia marcescens. Its molecular formula is C40H62N12O18 (approximate), with CAS No. 9003-47-6.
Strict clinical monitoring required due to severe hypersensitivity risks and hepatotoxicity. Storage must be maintained at -20°C in lyophilized form to preserve enzymatic activity and prevent denaturation.
