Recombinant Enterococcus faecalis Gelatinase(gelE)

gelE

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20C/-80C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20C/-80C.

Metalloprotease capable of the hydrolysis of insoluble hydrophobic substrates. Hydrolyzes azocoll and gelatin and, at a lower rate, soluble and insoluble collagens. Does not cleave short synthetic peptides. Preferentially hydrolyzes the 24-Phe-|-Phe-25 bond in the insulin B-chain, followed by the 5-His-|-Leu-6 bond. Inactivates endothelin-1, primarily by cleavage of the 5-Ser-|-Leu-6 and 16-His-|-Leu-17 bonds. Hydrolyzes the alpha chain of C3 to generate a C3b-like protein. Inhibits complement-mediated hemolysis and opsinization of bacteria. Hydrolyzes the insect antimicrobial peptide cecropin. Decreases the length of E.faecalis chains via the activation of autolysin. Degrades polymerized fibrin.

Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4C for up to one week.
