Collagenases degrade native helical collagen fibrils. It has an important role in connective tissue metabolism and is produced by specific cells involved in repairs and remodelling processes. Collagenase is used for tissue dissociation combined with other enzymes such as elastase, trypsin,…

Collagenases degrade native helical collagen fibrils. The substrate, collagen, is the major fibrous component of animal extracellular connective tissue: skin, tendon, blood vessels, bone, etc. True collagenase may cleave simultaneously across all three chains or attack a single strand. The enzyme…

Collagenase is a protease which cleaves the triple-helical protein called collagen. There are three types of tissue collagenases, and these belong to the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) family. Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum has extensive use in biological studies, where it is used to…

Collagenases degrade native helical collagen fibrils. Plays an important role in connective tissue metabolism Produced by specific cells involved in repairs and remodeling processes Type II enzyme that contains greater clostripain activity Collagenase is used for collagen…

Collagenase products are prepared from culture supernatants of C. histolyticum. It is prepared to contain lower tryptic activity to limit damage to membrane proteins and receptors but with normal to above normal collagenase activity. Suggested for pacreatic islet isolation. Crude Collagenases…
