ProteoSure™ Recombinant Bovine Enterokinase, 500 Units, 14-REK-500U, Marvelgent biosciences (CAT#: STEM-GT-3035-LGZ)

Enterokinase is a special protease that cleaves at the carboxyl side of a lysine residue when it is preceded by four aspartic acid groups (Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys) and followed by no proline . Enterokinase can be used to remove the fusion tag of a protein or the N-terminal presequence of a precursor protein that has been genetically engineered to be activated by enterokinase.

ProteoSure™ Recombinant Bovine Enterokinase is produced in E. coli. And it does not contain contaminating proteases. The enzyme is purified by a proprietary process for high purity and maximum enzyme activity. This product is supplied as a clear aqueous solution (≥5 U/μL) in a specially formulated storage buffer to ensure maximum stability of the enzyme during storage.

The enzyme is highly active at 4°C, allowing digestion at ideal low temperatures for maximum stability of temperature-sensitive target substrates during digestion.

Unit definition: 1 unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave 0.5 mg of DDDDK-containing protein (approximately 30 kDa in size) to 95% within 12 - 16 hours at 25°C.
