Description

General description

M.W. 11,000 and 18,000 (heterodimer).

Recombinant, human caspase-6 fused at the N- and C- termini to a His•Tag sequence and expressed in E. coli as a single polypeptide. Subsequently undergoes spontaneous autoprocessing to yield the active enzyme. Useful for the study of enzyme regulation and kinetics, cleavage of target substrates, and inhibitor screening. MW: 11000 and 18000.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)
