General description

Collagenase Type IV, Cls IV is a member of the mammalian extracellular neutral metalloproteinases family. It digests type IV collagen, which is a major structural constituent of the basement membrane.[1]
This product is identical to Biochrom GmbH part numbers C4-22 and C4-28. Enzyme blending from collagenase, clostripain, with tryptic and proteolytic activities. Recommended for the isolation of Islets of Langerhans. Specific activity is 125 to 250 Mandl units per milligram of powdered substance.

Application

Collagenase Type IV, Cls IV may be used:
  • as a component in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM)/F12 to digest endometrial samples isolated from in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients[2]
  • for collagenase perfusion to isolate hepatocytes using collagenase-liver perfusion method in rats[3]
  • in the isolation of rat glomerular endothelial cells (GEndCs)[4]

Microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein (MTP) is involved in the secretion of TG-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), a process which leads to the generation of hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerosis. We investigated the possible role of Ca(2+) on MTP activity in hepatocytes.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Does it detach the collagen IV without damaging the ECM or affecting the structure of it?

    1 answer
    1. This product is Collagenase Type IV, which digests type IV collagen, a major structural component of the basement membrane. It is likely that this product will affect the extracellular matrix to some extent. This product has not been tested for this specific application. Reviewing literature on this topic may provide additional insights.

  3. How does one solubilize collagenase, and what is the usage concentration for digestion and cell isolation?

    1 answer
    1. The substance is soluble at 50mg/ml and can be dissolved in water, although it is recommended to use saline, NaCl, DPBS, Hanks, or a culture medium. It is worth noting that in peer-reviewed papers at sial.com, glomerular endothelial cells were isolated at 0.1% in DMEM.
