m-Calpain Liquid. In 20 mM imidazole, 5 mM b-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 30% glycerol, pH 6.8. AVOID FREEZE/THAW CYCLES. Native calpain-1 from human erythrocytes. Ca2+-dependent heterodimeric cysteine proteinase with low Ca2+ requirement (EC50= 2 µM). Specific activity: ≥1000 units/mg protein. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1 pmol Suc-LLVY-AMC in 1 min, 25°C using the Calpain Activity Assay Kit, Fluorogenic (Cat. No. QIA120). Note: 1 caseinolytic unit = 1 fluorogenic unit. Purity: Comparable to reference lot by SDS-PAGE..
