Carboxypeptidase B, Rat

(Carboxypeptidase B, Cpb1, Cpb.)

Carboxypeptidase B (EC 3.4.17.2) catalyzes hydrolysis of the basic amino acids lysine, arginine and ornithine from the C-terminal end of polypeptides. The Mw was found to be 34.5 kda, optimun pH-7.9, and pI-6. Carboxypeptidase B is inhibited by arginine, lysine and ornithine. The enzyme is not inhibited by di-isopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), but it is inhibited by metal chelating agents, e.g., EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline.

Recombinant Rat Carboxypeptidase-B is expressed in E.Coli having a Mw of 35kDa is purified by standard chromatography techniques. Recombinant Rat Carboxypeptidase-B is free from foreign enzymes such as carboxypeptidase A & chymotrypsin. Recombinant Carboxypeptidase-B is free from protease inhibitors such as PMSF and EDTA.

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: Escherichia Coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered lyophilized powder.

Formulation: The protein was lyophilized with 100mM NaCl and 20mM Tris pH-7.5.

Carboxypeptidase B General Information

Storage:
Recombinant Rat Carboxypeptidase-B although stable at room temp for 1 week, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
