Biochem/physiol Actions
Elastase hydrolyses elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests hemoglobin, casein and fibrin.
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol 4-nitroaniline per minute at 25°C and pH 7.8 (succinyl-(L-Ala)3-4-nitroanilide as substrate)
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of N-succinyl-L-Ala-Ala-Ala-p-nitroanilide per min, pH 8.0 at 25 °C.
Other Notes
For protein sequence studies, limited proteolysis; Application in (selective) hydrolysis/condensation of carboxylic ester bonds
Sales restrictions may apply

Fatty acid synthetase from goat mammary gland was subjected to limited proteolysis by trypsin and elastase. Both proteolytic enzymes selectively cleaved the chain-terminating thioester hydrolase component from the enzyme complex, leaving all other partial activities intact in the core peptides.
