EK Enzyme

Description:
|Background Enterokinase is a serine proteinase that exhibits specificity for the sequence (Asp)4-Lys. It is the physiological activator of trypsinogen. The native enzyme has a heavy chain (115 kDa) covalently linked to a light chain or catalytic subunit (35 kDa). It has been well documented that the enterokinase light chain (EK) is catalytically effective, (1)and thus most studies are performed using EK. |Reco|E. coli-derived. A specific protease that cleaves after the sequence Asp-Asp-Aps-Aps-Lys. The light chain of enteropeptidase has full enzymatic activity. No other protease activity was detected. The affinity puirifed Human Enterokinase contains amino acids from 785 to 1019. Purity > 98%, by SDS-|50mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5 M NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2 and 50% glycerol. Shipping: The product is shipped with polar |Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 6 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied.
