Dispase is a bacillus-derived neutral metalloprotease that is recommended for recovering cell cultured on Corning® Matrigel® Basement Membrane Matrix. Dispase will yield a single cell suspension far more gently and effectively than trypsin, collagenase, or other proteolytic enzymes; it will not harm cells harvested for sub cultivation or bioassays. In addition, Dispase may be used for tissue dissociation. Dispase cleaves fibronectin, collagen IV, and to a lesser extent collagen I, but is does not cleave collagen V or laminin.

Thymidine kinase 1(TK1) belongs to the thymidine kinase family. It is located in the cytoplasm, and phosphorylated on Ser-13 in mitosis during post-translational modification. Two forms of this protein have been identified in animal cells, one in cytosol TK1 and one in mitochondria TK2. Thymidine kinases have a key function in the synthesis of DNA and thereby in cell division, as they are part of the unique reaction chain to introduce deoxythymidine into the DNA. Activity of the cytosolic enzyme is high in proliferating cells and peaks during the S-phase of the cell cycle, while it is very low in resting cells. TK1 acts as a homotetramer, and can transform thymidime to thymidine 5'-phosphate with the help of ATP.

Human Biliverdin reductase A (BLVRA) is belonged to the Gfo/Idh/MocA family and Biliverdin reductase subfamily. BLVRA is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BLVRA gene. BLVRA plays an important role in reducing the gamma-methene bridge of the open tetrapyrrole, biliverdin IX alpha, to bilirubin with the concomitant oxidation of a NADH or NADPH cofactor. BLVRA acts on biliverdin by reducing its double-bond between the pyrrole rings into a single-bond. It accomplishes this using NADPH + H+ as an electron donor, forming bilirubin and NADP+ as products.

SENP2 is an enzyme that belongs to the peptidase C48 family. SENP2 is a protease that catalyses two essential functions in the SUMO pathway: processing of full-length SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 to their mature forms and deconjugation of SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 from targeted proteins. SUMO1 is a small ubiquitin-like protein that can be covalently conjugated to other proteins. It has been implicated as a down-regulator of CTNNB1 levels and may therefore be a modulator of the Wnt pathway.

Tryptophan synthase is a multienzyme alpha2 beta 2 complex composed of two protein subunit. Tryptophan synthase catalyses the last two steps in the synthesis of L-tryptophan (L-Trp). The alpha-subunit catalyses cleavage of 3-indole-d-glycerol 3′-phosphate (IGP) to give indole and D-glyceraldehyde 3′-phosphate (G3P). Indole is then transferred through a 25-Å hydrophobic tunnel to the beta -subunit. The beta 2 subunit contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and catalyses several pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent reactions, including/3-elimination reactions 6 and a thiol-dependent transamination reaction. This enzyme is commonly found in Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, and Plantae, but is absent from Animalia. As humans do not have tryptophan synthase, this enzyme has been explored as a potential drug target.

Carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2) is a secreted enzyme that belongs to the peptidase M14 family. CPB2 is synthesised by the liver and circulates in the plasma as a plasminogen-bound zymogen by the liver and circulates in the plasma as a plasminogen-bound zymogen. CPB2 cleaves C-terminal arginine or lysine residues from biologically active peptides, such as kinins or anaphylatoxins, in the circulation regulating their activities. CPB2 also down-regulates fibrinolysis by removing C-terminal lysine residues from fibrin that has already been partially degraded by plasmin. CPB2 exhibits carboxypeptidase activity when it is activated by proteolysis at residue Arg92 of the thrombin/thrombomodulin complex. Activated CPB2 reduces fibrinolysis by removing the fibrin C-terminal residues that are important for the binding and activation of plasminogen.

Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) is a member of a large family of carboxylesterases that are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester and amide bonds. These enzymes have broad substrate specificity ranging from small molecule esters such as phenylester to long chain fatty acid esters and thioesters. They are major determinants of the pharmacokinetic behavior of most therapeutic agents containing an ester or amide bond. CES1 shares the serine hydrolase fold observed in other esterases. CES1 hydrolyses aromatic and aliphatic esters, but has no catalytic activity toward amides or a fatty acyl-CoA ester. CES1 participates in detoxification of drugs such as cocaine and heroin in serum and liver. It may also play a role in detoxification in the lung and/or protection of the central nervous system from ester or amide compounds.
