Keratinase

Description:
Keratinase, with the CAS number 37341-53-0, is an enzyme that belongs to the class of proteases, specifically known for its ability to degrade keratin, a fibrous structural protein found in hair, nails, feathers, and the outer layer of skin. This enzyme is produced by various microorganisms, including certain bacteria and fungi, which utilize keratin as a nutrient source. Keratinase exhibits characteristics such as high specificity for keratin substrates, optimal activity at specific pH and temperature ranges, and the ability to function in harsh conditions, making it valuable in various industrial applications. It is particularly significant in the fields of waste management, where it aids in the biodegradation of keratin-rich waste, and in the textile industry for processing animal fibers. Additionally, keratinase has potential applications in medicine, such as in wound healing and the treatment of keratin-related disorders. Its unique properties make it a subject of interest for biotechnological research and development.
