Descripción

General description

Mucin Degradation Enzyme is a metalloprotease useful for digesting heavily O-glycosylated mucin proteins. This product is made for preparative scale digestions of viscous material that is dense with mucin-type glycoproteins.

Application

For use as a sample preparation tool in research and discovery. Used for proteolytic degradation of mucin-dense tissues to allow for downstream processing.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The Mucin Degradation enzyme is a mutated form of a protease that specifically recognizes densely glycosylated mucins and mucin-domains, and proteolytically cleaves the peptide backbone. In nature this presumably enhances the virulence of the pathogenic microbe, but in the laboratory is a useful way of accessing molecular structures in tissues normally shielded by mucins.
