This collagenase has been tested with cell lines to verify the product is not cytotoxic. Collagenase is typically used to digest the connective components in tissue samples to liberate individual cells. The concentration for cartilage dispersal is 1-2 mg/ml, but literature searches should be performed for species specific and/or tissue specific concentrations.
정의
A rare proteinase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of collagen. Collagenase activity has been demonstrated
in several venoms of crotalid and viperid snakes and
it occurs in certain species of clostridium.
일반 설명
Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum comprises of collagenases G and H. Collagenase has N-terminal activator domain and C-terminal peptidase domain. The collagen binding domains (CBD) and polycystic kidney disease-like (PKD-like) domain resides in the peptidase domain. The collagenase module undergoes structural changes upon calcium binding.
Purification Methods
Collagenase is purified by using N-ethylmaleimide to activate the enzyme, and wheat germ agglutinin-agarose affinity chromatography [Callaway et al. Biochemistry 25 4757 1986].
