General description
Elastase, Human Neutrophil, CAS 9004-06-2, is a serine protease that degrades elastin, collagen, and proteoglycans
Native elastase from human neutrophil. A serine protease that degrades elastin, collagen, and proteoglycans. Its overexpression has been implicated in the development of pulmonary emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystic fibrosis.
Native elastase from human neutrophil. Degrades collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans. Elastase has been implicated in the development of pulmonary emphysema and rheumatoid arthritis.
Physical form
Salt-free.
Preparation Note
Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long term storage or refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage. Acidic stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C or for up to 1 year at -20°C.
Prepared from blood that has been shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.
Reconstitute in 50 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.5, with 200 mM NaCl or in other aqueous buffers. Material is most active near a neutral pH, but to maintain stability upon reconstitution, use in a slightly acidic buffer (pH 5.5) to avoid autolysis.
Analysis Note
Major band by SDS-PAGE
Other Notes
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1.0 µmol of MeO-Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-pNA (Cat. No. 454454) per min at 25°C, pH 8.0.
