Sigma-Aldrich Collagenase, 1g

Sigma-Aldrich Collagenase, 1 g Net Content, 9001-12-1, 68 to 130 kDa, Powder Form, -20 deg C, Clostridiopeptidase A. Chitinase is an extracellular complex of enzymes that degrade chitin. Chitin is a cell wall component of Fungi and exoskeketal essentials of different organisms which reshape their own chitin or digest/dissolve the chitin of other organisms (insects, fungi, yeast and algae and in the internal structures of other vertebrates). Chitinases have been detected in many microorganisms and in plants. In fungi, chitinases assist in morphogenesis, to break down the inherent chitin content of fungal cell walls. Plant chitinases help in resistance to fungal attack and counteracting fungal growth, by targeting those same fungal cell walls. In bacteria, bacterial chitinases assist in utilizing chitin as a carbon source and as an energy source.Streptomyces griseus produces multiple chitinases of different molecular masses after growth induction with chitin as the carbon source - SIAL (Additional S&H Or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
