Recombinant bovine enterokinase is widely used in biotechnology and molecular biology for its specific cleavage activity. It is particularly valuable in protein purification processes, where it is employed to remove affinity tags from recombinant proteins. By cleaving at a specific recognition sequence, it allows for the precise separation of the target protein from the tag, ensuring high purity and functionality of the final product. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of biopharmaceuticals, where it aids in the activation of precursor proteins by cleaving them into their active forms. Its high specificity and efficiency make it a crucial tool in research and industrial applications involving protein engineering and production.
