Application

La pepsine peut être utilisée pour produire des fragments F(ab′)2 d′anticorps. pepsine sur www.sigma-aldrich.com/enzymeexplorer.
Pepsin is a peptidase used to digest proteins and is commonly used in the preparation of Fab fragments from antibodies. Pepsin, from porcine gastric mucosa, has been used to hydrolyze dry cervical samples in mice. Product P7125 is provided in powder form. Product P7125 has been used to denature DNA from kidney cells[1] and to digest pathology samples from anal canal carcinomas (ACC) biopsies prior to EGFR staining[2].
The enzyme from Sigma has been used to obtain total vitamin B12 content in food products prior using immunoaffinity columns[3] It has also been used to digest minced soft tissue of snails prior to the isolation of the third stage larvae (L3).[4]

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Clivage préférentiel : résidus hydrophobes et aromatiques en positions P1 et P1′. Clive les liaisons Phe-Val, Gln-His, Glu-Ala, Ala-Leu, Leu-Tyr, Tyr-Leu, Gly-Phe, Phe-Phe et Phe-Tyr dans la chaîne β d′insuline.
It does not cleave at valine, alanine, or glycine linkages.[5] Z-L-tyrosyl-L-phenylalanine, Z-L-glutamyl-L-tyrosine, or Z-L-methionyl-L-tyrosine may be used as substrates for pepsin digestion.[5][6] Pepsin is inhibited by several phenylalanine-containing peptides.[7]
Pepsin hydrolyzes peptide bonds, not amide or ester linkages. Pepsin cleaves peptides with an aromatic acid on either side of the peptide bond. Sulfur-containing amino acids increase susceptibility to hydrolysis when they are close to the peptide bond. Pepsin preferentially cleaves at the carboxyl side of phenylalanine and leucine and at the carboxyl side of glutamic acid residues. Cleaves Phe-Val, Gln-His, Glu-Ala, Ala-Leu, Leu-Tyr, Tyr-Leu, Gly-Phe, Phe-Phe and Phe-Tyr bonds in the β chain of insulin
Pepsin is the major proteolytic enzyme produced in the stomach. It digests proteins through the cleavage of interior peptide linkages.[8]

  3. Which Pepsin do you recommend for histology/antigen retrevial? According to protocol 0.2mg/ml in 0.2M HCL

    1 answer
    1. This product has not been specifically qualified for antigen retrieval, however, it may be able to be qualified for use by the end user. A typical protocol using pepsin for antigen retrieval suggests the following stock and working solutions:

      Pepsin Stock Solution (1% in 10mM HCl):

      Pepsin ------------------------------------- 100 mg
      10mM HCl (pH 2.0) ---------------------- 10 ml

      Mix to dissolve. Store at -20 ºC

      Pepsin Working Solution (0.5% in 5mM HCl):

      Pepsin Stock Solution (0.5%) ------------ 1 ml
      Distilled water ---------------------------- 1 ml

      Mix well.

      For antigen retrieval - cover sections with pepsin working solution and incubate for 10-20 minutes at 37 °C in humidified chamber (optimal incubation time may vary depending on tissue type and degree of fixation, and should be determined by user).

      Product R2283 is a pepsin product qualified for antigen retrieval https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/product/sigma/r2283.
