pEnterokinase

Alternative Names: Enteropeptidase, Enterokinase, EC 3.4.21.9, Serine protease 7, ENTK, MGC133046.

Enteropeptidase, also known as enterokinase, is an enzyme involved in human digestion. It is produced by cells in the duodenum wall and is secreted from glands in the duodenum whenever food enters from the stomach. Enteropeptidase activates trypsinogen to trypsin, which in turn activates other pancreatic digestive enzymes. This enzyme belongs to the serine protease family, specifically the Chymotrypsin-clan, and shares structural similarities with other proteins in this group.

Product Description

Porcine Enteropeptidase, also known as Enterokinase, is a serine protease enzyme that plays a significant role in the activation of pancreatic digestive enzymes. Belonging to the family of trypsin-like serine proteases, Porcine Enteropeptidase has a molecular weight of approximately 68 kDa. This enzyme is essential for the conversion of trypsinogen into its active form, trypsin, which then initiates the cascade of digestive processes in the small intestine. Its precise function in the gastrointestinal system makes Porcine Enteropeptidase a crucial component in the regulation of digestive function.

Product Guarantee

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation.

Storage Instruction

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
