DESCRIPTION
YaxinBio Enterokinase is a kind of highly purified recombinant bovine enterokinase. The enzyme has been extensively purified and there are no traces of other contaminating proteases. Enterokinase is a specific protease that cleaves lysineC-terminalpreceded by four aspartic acids: Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys. However, enterokinase does not work if this lysine is followed by a proline. Enterokinase can remove N-terminal fusion protein, it is very useful for removing unwanted protein tags.
ADVANTAGES
High purity

Figure3: SDS-PAGE analysis of 1 U, 2U, 5U, 10U EK effect on 50µg substrate after 4h (Lane 1U, 2U, 5U and 10U), and 1 U EK effect on 50µg substrate after 16h (the right Lane 1U) respectively
High specificity
1) Protease that cleaves specifically after a lysine preceded by four aspartic acids: Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys (DDDDK)
2) No any other contaminated proteases, no non-specific cutting sites.
Conditions
Cutting condition: given an example: 25mM Tris-HCl 8.0:
Fusion protein concentration: 0.1-1mg/ml (total protein content: 50-100µg)
EK content: 1-2U
Temperature: 25℃
Time: overnight or 12h-16h for digestion.
Common components influence the action of enterokinase
>200mM imidazole or >200mM NaCl or >5% glycerin, the reaction may be effected. The following suggestions are given:
1) To receive the optimum result, please dialyze the sample to 25 mMTris-HCl, pH 8.0.
2) If the dialysis is inconvenient, please dilute the sample to <100mM imidazole, <50mMNaCl, <5% glycerin, and the proportion of fusion protein and EK may not be changed (1U:50µg fusion protein).
3) If there are one or more components in samples, and cannot be removed, suggest to increase the content of EK in reaction system or extend the reaction time.

Specific Activity
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme needed to cleave 50μg of fusion protein in 12 to16 hours to get 95% completion at 25°C in a buffer containing 25mMTris-HCl, pH 8.0. Substrate: a special fusion protein.
Storage Store at -20°C after delivery.
Stability Keep cool with blue ice during shipping. Remained stable at 25°C for one week without activity lost. Can be stable after several times of freeze-thaw.
