Tissue Dissociation

General Description

Dispase is a neutral, rapid-acting, gentle protease that separates intact epidermis from dermis. It also separates cultured intact epithelial cells from the substratum. It cleaves the basement membrane zone and leaves the epithelial cells intact.Collagenase is a protease which cleaves the triple-helical protein called collagen. There are three types of tissue collagenases, and these belong to the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) family. Collagenase obtained fromClostridium histolyticumhas a very strong activity, as it digests collagen from both ends, at temperatures as low as 4-10 °C.

Specificity

Collagenase degrades native collagen. Dispase^®is a nonspecific protease.

Application

Collagenase/Dispase^®is used for the preparation of cells from a wide variety of different tissues and organs.[5][6]

Components

EC 3.4.24.4 & 3.4.24.3

Unit Definition
