Insulin Degrading Enzyme (His•Tag) from Rat, Recombinant
Cat No.
NATE-0849
Description
Insulin Degrading Enzyme (IDE) is a large zinc-binding protease of the M16A metalloprotease subfamily known to cleave multiple short polypeptides that vary considerably in sequence. IDE was first identified by its ability to degrade the B chain of the hormone insulin. This activity was observed over sixty years ago, though the enzyme specifically responsible for B chain cleavage was identified more recently. This discovery revealed considerable amino acid sequence similarity between IDE and the previously characterized bacterial protease pitrilysin, suggesting a common proteolytic mechanism.
