Collagenase has been used in the preparation of arterial tissue for the study of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE). The enzyme has also been used along with other proteases for the disaggregation of human tumor, mouse kidney, human brain, lung epithelium and many other tissues. It is also effective in liver and kidney perfusion studies, digestion of pancreas, and isolation of nonparenchymal hepatocytes.
Actions biochimiques/physiologiques
La collagénase est activée à l′aide de quatre atome-grammes de calcium par mole d′enzyme. Elle est inhibée par l′acide éthylèneglycol-bis(bêta-aminoéthyléther)-N,N,N′,N′-tétraacétique, le bêta-mercaptoéthanol, le glutathion, l′acide thioglycolique et la 8-hydroxyquinoline.
Effective release of cells from tissue requires the action of both collagenase enzymes and the neutral protease. Collagenase is activated by four gram atom calcium (Ca2+) per mole enzyme. The culture filtrate is thought to contain at least 7 different proteases ranging in molecular weight from 68-130 kDa. Optimal pH ranges from 6.3-8.8. The enzyme recognizes the sequence -R-Pro-8-X-Gly-Pro-R-, where X is most often a neutral amino acid.
Définition de l'unité
Une unité de digestion de collagène (UDC) libère une quantité de peptides à partir du collagène d′un tendon d′Achille de bovin équivalant, en termes de couleur avec la méthode à la ninhydrine, à 1,0 μmole de leucine en 5 heures à pH 7,4 et à 37 °C en présence d′ions calcium. Une unité d′hydrolyse de FALGPA hydrolyse 1,0 μmole de furylacryloyl-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala par minute à 25 °C. Une unité de protéase neutre hydrolyse la caséine et produit une couleur équivalente à 1,0 μmole de tyrosine en 5 heures à pH 7,5 et à 37 °C. Une unité de clostripaïne hydrolyse 1,0 μmole de BAEE par minute à pH 7,6 et à 25 °C en présence de DTT.
Forme physique
Lyophilized powder containing calcium chloride
Notes préparatoires
A stock solution may be prepared by dissolving 0.05 - 0.1 mg of collagenase in one mL of 50 mM TES buffer containing 0.36 mM calcium chloride (TESCA), pH 7.4 at 37 °C. Use cold buffer.
Please note the material will not dissolve completely and few sediments may be seen. The sediments do not affect the activity of the solution.

Just want to make sure that the 1500 UNITS means one mg of collagenase have the activity of 1500 collagen digestion units.
If I want to make a 1500 UNITS stock, I only need to add 1 mg of the products into the 1ml of recommended buffer.

This product is sold on the basis of activity rather than mass. The minimum activity is 700 units per milligram. At the minimum activity, a 1500-unit package would contain 2.14 milligrams. The activity is lot specific and reported in the product Certificate of Analysis.
