Xa Factor Cleavage Site (Pichia pastoris codon optimized)
Protein expression and purification in recombinant DNA systems is a powerful and widely used technique. There is often a need to express the protein of interest as a fusion protein or chimeric protein. It is often necessary to remove the fusion partner before the recombinant protein of interest can be used for further studies. This deletion process involves the insertion of a unique amino acid sequence that is susceptible to cleavage by a highly specific protease. Thrombin and factor Xa are the most commonly used proteases for this application.
