Recombinant enterokinase (Cat No.: I040141) is a genetically engineered enzyme used primarily in biotechnology and protein purification. It specifically cleaves peptide bonds at the junction of the DDDDK sequence (a tag often used in recombinant protein production), enabling the removal of fusion tags from proteins. Enterokinase is derived from the human gut enzyme responsible for activating pancreatic digestive enzymes. Its high specificity and efficiency make it invaluable in producing pure therapeutic proteins, enzymes, and research reagents by facilitating precise cleavage and tag removal.
