Description
Deoxyribonuclease II, also called as acid DNAse, hydrolyzes deoxyribonucleotide linkages in native and denatured DNA yielding products with 3'-phosphates. In vitro, its optimum pH range is 4.5-5.0. It also acts upon p-nitrophenyl-phosphodiesters at pH 5.6-5.9. The molecular weight is approximately 38 kDa Da.
Abbr
DNASE2, Native (Porcine)
Alias
DNase II alpha; DNASE2
Applications
DNase II from Creative Enzymes has been used to treat transformed cells during the purification of β-lactamase. It has also been used for the preparation of adenoma tissue in a study that investigated the effect of somatoprim on growth hormone secretion in human adenoma cell cultures (hSA). Deoxyribonuclease II from porcine spleen has been used in an immunohistological study of the immune system cells in paraffin-embedded tissues. Deoxyribonuclease II from porcine spleen has also been used in a study to investigate its reassociation with the lysosomal membrane.
