Enteropeptidase/Enterokinase Bovine Recombinant His Tag

Enteropeptidase or enterokinase is an enzymeinvolved in human digestion. It is produced by cells in the duodenum wall, and is secreted from duodenum's glands, the crypts of Lieberkühn, whenever ingested food enters the duodenum from the stomach. Enteropeptidase has the critical job of turning trypsinogen(a zymogen) to trypsin, indirectly activating a number of pancreaticdigestive enzymes.
Enteropeptidase is a serine proteaseenzyme(EC3.4.21.9). Enteropeptidase is a part of the Chymotrypsin-clan of serine proteases, and is structurally similar to these proteins. 
Description Enterokinase Bovine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 241 amino acids with a 6 × His at C-terminus and having a molecular mass of 28.0kDa.
The Enterokinase Bovine is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms Enteropeptidase, EC 3.4.21.9, Enterokinase, Serine protease 7, ENTK, MGC133046.
Source Escherichia Coli.
Formulation Sterile liquid solution.
Bovine EK is supplied in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5M NaCl and 50% glycerol.
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Unit Definition One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme needed to cleave 50 ug of fusion protein in 16 hours to 95% completion at 25°C in a buffer containing 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 50 mM NaCl, and 2 mM CaCl2.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
