ATE00001

TEV Protease

Tobacco Etch Virus NIa Protease | Recombinant, E. coli-expressed

Product Description

TEV Protease, derived from Tobacco Etch Virus NIa, is a recombinant cysteine protease with exceptional site specificity. It recognizes the seven-amino acid sequence Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln↓Gly (ENLYFQ↓G) and cleaves precisely between Gln and Gly. It efficiently removes affinity tags such as GST or other fusion tags, ensuring precise and effective protein preparation.

Product Advantages

High Specificity Precisely recognizes the 7-amino acid sequence, ensuring accurate cleavage without nonspecific cuts.
Broad Reaction Conditions Retains high activity across pH 6.0–8.5 and temperatures 4–30°C, versatile for various setups.
Convenient Purification N-terminal GST tag enables easy removal via glutathione affinity chromatography.
High Purity Purity >95% by SDS-PAGE; recombinant E. coli expression ensures batch consistency.

Applications

  • Fusion Tag Removal (GST, etc.)
  • Protein Purification
  • Protein Functional Studies
