Recombinant Kex2 protease (Cat No.: I040143) is a yeast-derived enzyme used in biotechnology for cleaving peptide bonds at specific sites, typically between paired basic residues (e.g., lysine-arginine). Kex2 plays a critical role in processing proproteins into their active forms, particularly in yeast and other eukaryotic systems. In recombinant protein production, Kex2 is used to remove fusion tags from target proteins, ensuring purity and proper protein function. Its specificity and efficiency make it valuable in protein engineering, therapeutic protein production, and research applications.
