Description
Collagenase I from Clostridium histolyticum is prepared by recombinant expression in Escherichia coli and has a molecular weight of approximately 126 kDa. It includes a histidine tag.
Collagen is not easily degraded by common proteases and only undergoes hydrolysis under high-temperature or extreme acidic/alkaline conditions. However, collagenase can specifically hydrolyze the triple helical structure of native collagen under physiological pH and temperature conditions.
Species
Clostridium histolyticum
Applications
For hydrolysis of collagen.
