ActoFactor™ Recombinant Human Furin (paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme)

CSC-CTK0634

Proteases (also called Proteolytic Enzymes, Peptidases, or Proteinases) are enzymes that hydrolyze the amide bonds within proteins or peptides. Most proteases act in a specific manner, hydrolyzing bonds at or adjacent to specific residues or a specific sequence of residues contained within the substrate protein or peptide. Proteases play an important role in most diseases and biological processes including prenatal and postnatal development, reproduction, signal transduction, the immune response, various autoimmune and degenerative diseases, and cancer. They are also an important research tool, frequently used in the analysis and production of proteins. Furin is a calcium dependent serine endoprotease that processes numerous proproteins of different secretory pathways into their mature forms by cleaving at the carboxyl side of the recognition sequence, R-Xaa-(K/R)-R, where Xaa can be any amino acid. Recombinant human Furin is a 61.7 kDa protein, corresponding to residues 124 through 715 of the Furin precursor plus a C-terminal His-tag.

Human

Human FURIN expressed in Hi-5 insect cells

61.7 kDa

CAT# CSC-CTK0634-10 (10 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0634-50 (50 μg)

Hi-5 insect cells

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC analysis.

Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Boc-Arg-Val-Arg-Arg-AMC (Bachem Catalog# I-1645.0025).

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Sterile-filtered through a 0.2 micron filter and ly ophilized from 20 mM Tris (pH 7.6), 5 mM calcium chloride, 5% trehalose.

Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in sterile, ultra-pure water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at -20°C for future use.

The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored long-term in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
