Elastase, porcine pancreas（Cat No.:I044243）is a serine protease enzyme derived from the pancreas of pigs, primarily used to cleave elastin and other proteins at the carboxyl side of small, neutral amino acids such as alanine, glycine, and valine. It plays a crucial role in degrading connective tissue components and is widely used in biochemical, cell culture, and tissue dissociation applications. Porcine pancreatic elastase is also employed in studies of pulmonary diseases, such as emphysema, where it helps model extracellular matrix degradation and inflammation. Its high activity and specificity make it valuable in proteolysis research.
