INTRODUCTION
Peptidase D, also known as PEPD, Is a part of the peptidase family. PEPD is involved in collagen metabolism due to the high level of iminoacids in collagen. PEPD recycles proline, and sets the pace for the production of collagen. PEPD is also parts dipeptides with a prolyl or hydroxyprolyl residue in the C-terminal position.
DESCRIPTION
PEPD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 516 amino acids (1-493a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 56.9kDa.
PEPD is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
