The recombinant enterokinase light chain exhibits full enzymatic cleavage specificity in vitro and demonstrates significantly enhanced cleavage activity toward genetically engineered fusion protein substrates compared to purified bovine enterokinase.
Applications
As a protease that specifically recognizes and cleaves substrates containing enterokinase cleavage sites, one of its applications is as a tool protease for the specific cleavage of recombinant fusion proteins.
