Product Description
Protease is an enzyme used to break down proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds. It is secreted from Bacillus sp.. It is a serine-type protease characterized by excellent performance at elevated temperature and pH. Protease is used to degrade proteins, to study protease inhibitors and to study thermal inactivation kinetics. It has been used to hydrolyze muscle in order to study the rapamycin signaling in C2C12 myoblasts. Protease catabolizes proteins by hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Proteases are inactivated by serine active-site inhibitors, such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropylfluorophosphate. Proteases, secreted from Bacillus sp., typically have molecular weights ranging from 20,000 to 30,000. They are typically stabilized by Ca2+ and have high isoelectric points. It is highly soluble in detergents at a wide range of pH and temperatures.
