Mast Cell Chymase (Biotin)
Description:
Mast cell chymase (EC 3.4.21.39), a member of the granzyme subfamily of the S1 family of peptidases, cleaves chymase C-terminal to Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Tryptophan, and Leucine residues (in order of preference). Chymase is stored in mast cell granules within the cell and is the major secreated mast cell protease. Secreated mast cell chymase is believed to be involved in extracellular matrix degradation, vasoactive peptide generation, and regulation of gland secreation.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Not recommended for Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry/Immunocytochemistry: 0.5-1ug/ml; For optimal results, tissues or cytospin preparations should be fixed in Carnoy’s Fluid (60% ethanol, 30% chloroform, 10% glacial acetic acid). Not recommended for use on formaldehyde fixed tissue.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
