Beschreibung

General description

α-Chymotrypsin from bovine pancreas (bovine pancreatic α-chymotrypsin, CHT) is an enzyme protein.[1] The influence of varying concentrations of organic solvents like ethanol, 1,4-dioxane and acetonitrile on CHT has been reported.[2]

Chymotrypsin (Chy) is a serine protease. It corresponds to a molecular weight of 25.7 kDa and is widely used in pharmaceutical industry. It is synthesized in pancreas from chymotrypsinogen and require calcium for this conversion.

Application

α-Chymotrypsin from bovine pancreas is used for the following applications:

• Protein Identification by mass spectrometry (MS)[3]
• The isolation and characterization of myosin heavy chains[4]
• Toxin preparation[5]
• The incubation of infected and uninfected cells for analysis of cellular proteins by SDS-PAGE[6]

α-Chymotrypsin from bovine pancreas (BPC) may be used as a catalyst in the preparation of tetrahydroquinoline derivatives by Povarov reaction.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ein Serin-Protease, die Peptidbindungen mit aromatischen oder großen hydrophoben Seitenketten (Tyr, Trp, Phe, Met, Leu) am Carboxylende der Bindung hydrolysiert.

α-Chymotrypsin from bovine pancreas is stabilized by Ca²⁺ and catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in particular the amino acids tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and leucine at their C-terminal side. α-Chymotrypsin is inhibited by Cu²⁺ and Hg.

Other Notes

Eine Einheit hydrolysiert 1.0 μmol BTEE pro min bei pH 7.8 und 25 °C.
