Enterokinase

Enterokinase (Enteropeptidase) is a highly specific serine protease that recognizes the sequence Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys (DDDDK) and cleaves after the lysine residue, ideal for fusion tag removal.

A remarkably precise biochemical tool, Enterokinase perfectly recognizes and cleaves downstream of the Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys sequence marker. Functioning as a supreme sequence-specific protease, it guarantees minimal extraneous digestion, resulting in pure native target proteins. Essential for removing affinity fusion tags, its bioprocess-tolerant properties cater dynamically to stringent laboratory upscaling tasks.
