Description

Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is an approximately 50.0 kDa human carboxypeptidase A2 with a His-flag. Carboxypeptidase A2 is a secreted pancreatic procarboxy -peptidase, and cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides.

Background

There exists different forms of human pancreatic procarboxypeptidase A, and the A1 and A2 forms are always secreted as monomeric proteins with different biochemical properties[1].
The hydrolytic action of CPA2 prefers towards long substrates with aromatic amino acids in their C-terminal end, particularly tryptophan. CPA2 comprises a signal peptide, a pro region and a mature chain, and can be activated after cleavage of the pro peptide[2].
Carboxypeptidase A2 is a secreted pancreatic procarboxy-peptidase, and cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides that have a free C-terminal carboxyl group[1][2].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
