SIZE: 100 IU
PROTEIN INFO: E. coli derived bovine Enterokinase
NCBI ID: AAA16035
DESCRIPTION
Enterokinase (EK) is synthesized by duodenum cells involving digestion. It cleaves the N terminal peptide of trypsinogen to produce active form trypsin[1]. The specific cleavage site for EK is four aspartic acids Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys following by a lysine, not following by proline.
Recombinant Bovine Enterokinase (bEK) as the light chain is a single glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 200 amino acids. A fully biologically active form is prepared by America Diagnostics using its proprietary recombinant protein technology modified from Vozza (1996) protocol[2].
