Yeast Kex-2, Recombinant (Endoproteinase Lys/Arg-Arg)

Proteases (also called Proteolytic Enzymes, Peptidases, or Proteinases) are enzymes that hydrolyze the amide bonds within proteins or peptides. Most proteases act in a specific manner, hydrolyzing bonds at or adjacent to specific residues or a specific sequence of residues contained within the substrate protein or peptide. Proteases play an important role in most diseases and biological processes including prenatal and postnatal development, reproduction, signal transduction, the immune response, various autoimmune and degenerative diseases, and cancer. They are also an important research tool, frequently used in the analysis and production of proteins.Kex-2 cleaves at the carboxyl end of the recognition sequences Arg-Arg/X and Lys-Arg/X.Recombinant Yeast Kex-2 is a 60.4kD protease consisting of 558 amino acid residues.\n\nBiological Activity:\nRecombinant Kex-2 from High-5 insect cells contains the same specific activity and recognition sequence specificity as yeast derived KEX-2. 1 milligram of recombinant KEX-2 contains activity equivalent to at least 40 units of yeast derived KEX-2. Cleaves at the carboxyl side of K/R-R.\n\nAA Sequence:\nLPVPAPPMDS SLLPVKEAED KLSINDPLFE RQWHLVNPSF PGSDINVLDL WYNNITGAGV VAAIVDDGLD YENEDLKDNF CAEGSWDFND NTNLPKPRLS DDYHGTRCAG EIAAKKGNNF CGVGVGYNAK ISGIRILSGD ITTEDEAASL IYGLDVNDIY SCSWGPADDG RHLQGPSDLV KKALVKGVTE GRDSKGAIYV FASGNGGTRG DNCNYDGYTN SIYSITIGAI DHKDLHPPYS EGCSAVMAVT YSSGSGEYIH SSDINGRCSN SHGGTSAAAP LAAGVYTLLL EANPNLTWRD VQYLSILSAV GLEKNADGDW RDSAMGKKYS HRYGFGKIDA HKLIEMSKTW ENVNAQTWFY LPTLYVSQST NSTEETLESV ITISEKSLQD ANFKRIEHVT VTVDIDTEIR GTTTVDLISP AGIISNLGVV RPRDVSSEGF KDWTFMSVAH WGENGVGDWK IKVKTTENGH RIDFHSWRLK LFGESIDSSK TETFVFGNDK EEVEPAATES TVSQYSASST SISISATSTS SISIGVETSA IPQTTTASTD PDSDPNTP\n\nQuality Control:\nVerified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable).\n\nEndotoxin:\n<0.1ng/ug of protein (<1EU/ug).\n\nProtein Content:\nVerified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nStore lyophilized products at -20 degrees C. For reconstituted solutions of most products, we recommend short-term storage at 4 degrees C. For longer term storage the protein solution should be stored with a carrier protein (eg. 0.1% BSA) in working aliquots and stored frozen at -20 degrees C. Additional freeze/thaw cycles may cause some denaturation of the protein.
