compound introduction
Tissue dissociation: Because elastin is found in highest concentrations in the elastic fibers of connective tissues, Elastase is frequently used to dissociate tissues that contain extensive intercellular fiber networks. For this purpose, it is usually used with other enzymes such as collagenase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin.Membrane protein solubilizationProtein sequence studies. Two times crystallized. Supplied as an aqueous suspension. This preparation must be diluted to dissolve the enzyme. The diluted enzyme should be 0.22 micron filtered before use. Suitable for the isolation of Type II lung cells.
