Used in cell isolation and tissue dissociation procedures, particularly in preparing single-cell suspensions from tissues for primary cell culture. It selectively degrades elastin and other structural proteins in connective tissues, making it effective for dissociating delicate tissues such as lung, pancreas, and blood vessels without damaging cell membranes. Commonly used in research involving stem cells, cancer biology, and regenerative medicine. Also employed in biochemical studies to investigate protease activity, elastin metabolism, and mechanisms of inflammatory diseases like emphysema. Its high specificity and purified nature reduce batch variability, ensuring consistent results in sensitive applications.
