General description

A non-specific protease liquefies mucins and digests proteins to free amino acids. Can be used to isolate living chondrocytes. Most active at neutral pH, but it is stable over a wide pH and temperature range. Has an optimal pH of 7.5. Note: 1 KU = 1000 units.

Warning

Toxicity: Harmful (C)

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will liberate a digestion product equivalent to 25 µg of tyrosine per min at 40°C, pH 7.5.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a solution containing calcium acetate as a stabilizer.

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). Stock solutions are stable for 24 h at 4°C.

Capsid assembly among the herpes-group viruses is coordinated by two related scaffolding proteins. In cytomegalovirus (CMV), the main scaffolding constituent is called the assembly protein precursor (pAP). Like its homologs in other herpesviruses, pAP is modified by proteolytic cleavage and

During development, immature blood vessel networks remodel to form a simplified and efficient vasculature to meet the demand for oxygen and nutrients, and this remodeling process is mainly achieved via the pruning of existing vessels. It has already known that

Depletion of the cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan is one of the earliest events that occurs in association with osteoarthritis. This loss is often accompanied by a coordinate loss in another glycosaminoglycan, hyaluronan. Chondrocytes experimentally depleted of cell-associated hyaluronan respond by switching

Evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways are crucial for adjusting growth, reproduction, and cell maintenance in response to altered environmental conditions or energy balance. However, we have an incomplete understanding of the signaling networks and mechanistic changes that coordinate physiological changes across
