Thrombin (MW 37kDa) 

Thrombin (MW 37kDa) is a Na⁺-activated, allosteric serine protease that plays opposing functional roles in blood coagulation. Thrombin recognition sequence and can be used to digest GST-tagged proteins.

p62 is cleaved from the agarose beads as well as the GST tag by addition of Thrombin (1 Unit/100 µg protein) at room temperature for 20 h^[3].
Thrombin solution: Dissolve in PBS prechilled to 4°C. Swirl gently. Store solution in small aliquots at -80°C to preserve activity.
Cleavage buffer: PBS (140 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na₂HPO₄, 1.8 mM KH₂PO₄) pH 7.3.
Elution buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM reduced glutathione, pH 8.0
