Catalogue number
ENZ-315
Synonyms
Streptokinase, SK.
Introduction
Streptokinase is an extracellular metallo-enzymeproduced by beta-haemolytic streptococcusand is used as an effective and cheap clot-dissolving medicationin some cases of myocardial infarction(heart attack) and pulmonary embolism.
It belongs to a group of medications known as fibrinolytics, and works by activating plasminogenthrough cleavage to produce plasmin.
Description
Streptokinase Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 414 amino acids and having a molecular weight of 47.3kDa.
The Streptokinase is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Streptokinase in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Streptokinase although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Streptokinase should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
