Collagenase 2	K21-240	1 g
Collagenase 2
dialysed, sterile	K02-239	20 ml

Collagenase cleaves peptide bonds in native, triple-helical collagen. The substrate, collagen, is the major fibrous component of animal extracellular connective tissue: skin, tendon, blood vessels, bone, etc. Collagenase may cleave simultaneously across all three chains or attack a single strand.

Collagenase is suitable for the digestion of connective tissues.

• Most active collagenase
• Collagenase 2 digests all native helical collagen fibrils
• Important enzyme within the metabolism of tissues
• Fixed on macroglobulin or anti-proteases during its native condition
• Digestion of polypeptides (gelatine)

Active components: collagenase, caseinase, clostripain.
