Worthington Biochemical Corporation Elastase, Lyophilized, 100mg

Supplier: Worthington Biochemical Corporation LS002292

Two times crystallized, (Code: ESL), supplied as a dialyzed, lyophilized powder. The enzyme should be 0.22 micron filtered after reconstitution and prior to use. Suitable for the isolation of Type II lung cells. Store at 2-8°C. Porcine pancreatic elastase has a molecular weight of 25.9 kDa, and a pH optimum of 8.5. While elastase will hydrolyze a wide variety of protein substrates, it is unique among proteases in its ability to hydrolyze native elastin, a substrate not attacked by trypsin, chymotrypsin or pepsin. Soybean trypsin inhibitor and kallikrein inhibitor suppress proteolytic but not elastolytic activity.
