Anti-ECS Antibody (18832) (18832-100ug)

The Enterokinase Cleavage Site (ECS) tag, represented by the unique amino acid sequence DYKDDDDK, serves as a highly versatile epitope tag in recombinant protein applications. Beyond its utility as a detectable epitope, the ECS tag possesses a distinct hydrophobic nature. This characteristic is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and proper folding of the recombinant protein to which it is appended, potentially minimizing aggregation or misfolding. Furthermore, a key advantage of the ECS tag is its inherent function as a specific kinase cleavage site. This enzymatic recognition site allows for the precise and efficient removal of the tag from the recombinant protein, offering flexibility for downstream applications where a tag-free protein is desired.
