Purity

Highly PurifiedCTI is purified using a combination of published procedures (3,4). CTI is extracted from the kernels of fresh sweet corn into a physiologic buffer. The extract is de-fatted using acetone. The protein is further purified by employing gel
Form

Supplied as a liquid in 20mM Tris, 0.3M sodium chloride, pH 7.4.
Storage_stability

May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degree C/-80 degree C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20 degree C/-80 degree C.. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Description

Tissue, pathway, proteinase, peptidase, protease ,acrosin, lipoprotein, activator, caspase, trypsin, papain, esterase inhibitors are proteins or receptor ligands or receptor antagonists that bind to an enzyme receptor and decreases its activity. Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. Not all receptor antagonist that bind to enzymes are inhibitors; enzyme activator ligands or agonists bind to enzymes and increase their enzymatic activity, while enzyme substrates bind and are converted to products in the normal catalytic cycle of the enzyme.
