Clone Host Grade Applications Polyclonal Rabbit Highly Purified E B IH

Elastase, like trypsin and chymotrypsin, is a serine protease that also hydrolyses amides and esters. It is produced in the pancreas as an inactive zymogen, proelastase, and activated in the duodenum by trypsin. Elastase is distinctive in that it acts upon elastin. Because elastin in found in highest concentrations in the elastic fibers of connective tissues, elastase is frequently used to dissociate tissues which contain extensive intercellular fiber networks. For this purpose, it is usually used with other enzymes such as collagenase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. Elastase is the enzyme of choice for the isolation of Type II cells from the lung.
Catalog #	E2230-25
Applications	Suitable for ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions	ELISA: 1:200-1:14,000. 1ug of Elastase (porcine pancreas) in a standard capture ELISA using ABTS (A0030) as a substrate for 30 minutes at RT.
	Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000
	Optimal dilution determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability	May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
