Description: Enterokinase (EK) is an enzyme produced by cells of the duodenum and involved in human digestion. It plays a role of turning trypsinogen to its active form trypsin, and indirectly activates the pancreatic digestive enzymes. Enterokinase is a specific protease that cleaves after a lysine preceded by four aspartic acids: Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys. Enterokinase will not work if the recognition site is followed by a proline. rbEK with 6 x His-tag binds with Ni2+ affinity chromatography and was designed for removing from digestion system. Recombinant Bovine Enterokinase (rbEK) as the light chain is a single glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 200 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rbEK has a molecular mass of 22.7 kDa and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
