Description
From the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. Scarcely inhibited by chicken cystatin. Another cysteine endopeptidase, with similar action on small molecule substrates, pinguinain, is obtained from the related plant, Bromelia pinguin, but pinguinain differs from fruit bromelain in being inhibited by chicken cystatin.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
juice bromelain; ananase; bromelase; bromelin; extranase; juice bromelain; pinase; pineapple enzyme; traumanase; fruit bromelain FA2
Reaction
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Bz-Phe-Val-Arg┼NHMec is a good synthetic substrate, but there is no action on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec (c.f. stem bromelain)
