Endoproteinase Glu-C

CAS: 66676-43-5

Endoproteinase Glu-C (Glutamyl endopeptidase, V8 protease, GluV8, EC 3.4.21.19) is a protease that hydrolyzes peptide bonds at the carboxylic side of either exclusively Glu, or Glu and Asp residues, depending on the buffer conditions. One unit of endoproteinase Glu-C will generate 1.0 μmole of p-nitroaniline from Z-Phe-Leu-Glu-pNA peptide mimic substrate per minute at pH 7.8 and 25 °C. Z-Phe-Leu-Glu-pNA substrate is available here.molecular weight ~ 27000.

Formula: C₆₅H₉₈N₁₆O₁₉
