Pepsin porcine ca. 15 milliAnson units/mg, SERVA Electrophoresis
2xcryst. lyophil. (Pepsin A)
EC 3.4.23.1 • Mw ca. 36 000 • CAS 9001-75-6
For the degradation of proteins. Pepsin preferentially hydrolyzes those peptide linkages which involve the amino group contributed by the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan.
Unit definition: 1 milliAnson-unit is equivalent to 1 µmole of Folin-positive amino acids calculated as tyrosine, released from denatured hemoglobin per minute at 37 °C, pH 2.0.
Activity in other units: ca. 0.015 PUHb/mg ("Pepsin-Unit" according to Anson. Expressed in millimole tyrosine, therefore 1 PUHb = 1000 milliAnson-units.)
Storage Temperature: -15 °C to -25 °C
EG-Index: 647-008-00-6 • EINECS: 232-629-3 • WGK: 1 • HS: 35079090
