Recombinant EN-TEV Protease (mutated S219N) protein (Tagged-His Tag) is a Full Length protein, in the 2037 to 2073 aa range, expressed in Escherichia coli, with >98% purity and suitable for SDS-PAGE, FuncS.
The "standard" reaction buffer for TEV protease is 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.5 mM EDTA and 1mM DTT. The duration of the cleavage reaction is typically overnight, although lots of cleavage will happen in the first few hours and prolonged incubation times may not lead to proportional increases in cleavage. TEV protease is maximally active at 34 °C, but we recommend performing the digest at room temperature (20 °C) or 4 °C. TEV protease is only three-fold less active at 4 °C than at 20 °C.
Typically, a good rule of thumb for initial test of digestion is 1 μg TEV enzyme per 50 - 100μg target protein ratio. Perform a small-scale reaction first, if possible, to gauge the efficiency of processing.

EN-TEV Protease also known simply as TEV protease is a specific proteolytic enzyme commonly utilized for its high specificity in cleaving peptide sequences. Its other popular name is Tobacco Etch Virus NIa protease and it has a molecular mass of approximately 27 kDa. TEV protease is expressed mainly in bacteria such as Escherichia coli when used in laboratory settings for protein preparation. Its ability to cleave at a specific sequence makes it invaluable in protein purification processes.
The action of TEV protease involves recognizing and cleaving a specific sequence in fusion proteins allowing for the removal of affinity tags. Though not generally part of a complex its activity is often important for modifying proteins without interfering with their structure or function beyond the cleaved site. By providing a method to separate desired parts of proteins TEV protease enhances the study of protein functions and structures. It also assists in generating authentic recombinant proteins critical for various research applications.
TEV protease's role mainly revolves around its function in post-translational modification processes rather than classical signaling pathways. It facilitates pathways where the removal of fusion tags is necessary for studying protein interactions and conformations. This function does not directly involve TEV protease in cellular metabolic pathways but its activity complements the activity of other proteases like Actev protease and protease assay protocol tools by providing a precise cleavage mechanism necessary for subsequent biochemical analysis and studies.
Although TEV protease does not directly relate to specific diseases it has a significant role in research involving proteins associated with various conditions. For instance in neurodegenerative studies researchers utilize TEV protease to isolate and study proteins potentially connected to disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The protease substrate generated by its specific cleavage can be studied alongside proteins like tau which are linked to disease pathology. The ability to manipulate protein structures cleanly and efficiently with TEV protease underpins its utility in both clinical research and therapeutic development.
