Crude collagenase preparations contain several isoforms of two different collagenases, a sulfhydryl protease, clostripain, a trypsin-like enzyme, and an aminopeptidase. This combination of collagenolytic and proteolytic activities is effective at breaking down intercellular matrices, the essential part of tissue dissociation. One component of the complex is a hydrolytic enzyme which degrades the helical regions in native collagen preferentially at the Y-Gly bond in the sequence Pro-Y-Gly-Pro, where Y is most frequently a neutral amino acid. This cleavage yields products susceptible to further peptidase digestion. Crude collagenase is inhibited by metal chelating agents such as cysteine, EDTA or o-phenanthroline but not DFP. It is also inhibited by α2-macroglobulin, a large plasma glycoprotein. Ca2+ is required for enzyme activity. Particular enzymatic profiles of each collagenase have been correlated with the tissues from which the cells for study were obtained (or with the uses to which the cells are put) and as a result of the correlations several types of crude collagenases have been established by Worthington: Types 1, 2, 3, and 4.
NEW! Animal Free Types AFA, AFB and AFC, STZ1, and STZ2 collagenases are derived from cultures grown in medium completely devoid of animal based components and designed for bioprocessing applications where introduction of potential animal derived pathogens must be prevented. Levels of secondary proteases are similar to Types 1 and 2 collagenase.
Worthington also offers 0.22µm filtered preparations of each type in pre-packaged form for direct reconstitution and use in cell isolation and culture procedures. Correlations between enzyme type and effectiveness with different tissues have been good, but not perfect, due in part to the variable parameters of use. Nevertheless most researchers consider the tissue-typing of crude collagenase lots to be a valuable service. A detailed description of the Worthington collagenase and contaminant assays can be found in the Worthington Enzyme Manual. In addition, tissue specific references and detailed isolation conditions can be found in the Worthington Tissue Dissociation Guide.
The collagenase assay is a modification of Mandl wherein collagenase is incubated for five hours with native collagen and the extent of collagen breakdown is determined using the Moore and Stein, JBC, 176, 367, (1948) colorimetric ninhydrin method. Amino acids released are expressed as micromoles leucine per milligram collagenase.
Uses: Crude collagenases are widely used in enzymatic primary cell isolation and tissue dissociation procedures. Most researchers employ either crude collagenase preparations such as Types 1, 2, 3, and 4 or chromatographically purified collagenase (Code: CLSPA); the latter usually combined with secondary enzymes such as elastase, hyaluronidase, etc. For best results, the precise mixture of proteolytic activities must be tailored to the tissue to be dissociated. Correlations between type and effectiveness with different tissues have been good, but not perfect, and may be dependent partly on parameters of use and objectives as well as lot-to-lot variations. For more information see the Collagenase Sampling Program information. Worthington also publishes a Tissue Dissociation Guide which provides additional information regarding the enzymes used for these applications and specific references for numerous cell and tissue types.
Clostridium histolyticum collagenase is an enzyme mixture of collagenase, clostripain and tryptic and proteolytic activities. Collagenase type IV has low tryptic, high collagenase and normal clostripain activity. Type I Collagenase is recommended for cell preparation from epithelial, liver, lung tissue, tissue of the suprarenal gland and adipose tissue. The specific activity of >900 Mandl units per mg of dry matter.
Collagenase is produced by two separate and distinct genes in Clostridium histolyticum. Both genes have been cloned and sequenced (Yoshihara 1994). The colG gene codes for type I collagenase, a 936 amino acid protein, while the colH gene codes for type II collagenase, a 1021 amino acid protein. Both genes share 72% identity, the proteins only 43%. Both gene products can be present as two or more isoforms differing in molecular weight. Therefore collagenase mixtures can contain six to eight different proteins in a molecular weight range from 68 to 130 kDa. Substrate specificity studies have demonstrated that the colG gene prefers natural substrates such as intact collagen, compared to the colH gene product which preferentially digests short synthetic substrates (FALGPA) (Eckhard et al. 2009 and Matsushita 1999).
General description:The treatment of tissue with collagenase causes the careful, selective degradation of the intercellular matrix, and does not affect the growth of the cells. The collagenase offered by Genaxxon bioscience is a mixture of different proteolytically active enzymes and requires calcium ions for both the catalytic activity and the binding to the collagen molecule. In contrast to vertebrate collagenase, Clostridium histolyticum collagenase digests native triple helix collagen into small peptides, which is the major use of collagenases in cell culture application.
For optimal results, a well balanced mixture of proteolytic enzymes is necessary. Four different collagenases, Collagenase Type I >, Collagenase Type II >, Collagenase Type III > and Collagenase Type IV > are available for this. Type IV is usually used together with other enzymes, such as trypsin >, elastase or hyaluronidase >. Trypsin or Trypsin/EDTA > conventionally used in the cell culture degrades the matrix only slowly and can cause irreversible damage to the released cells. Therefore, we recommend Accutase > instead of trypsin or trypsin/EDTA.
Clostridium collagenases belongs to the metalloproteases, a large family of proteases that shares a zinc-containing motif at the center of the active site (Gonzales and Robert-Baudouy 1996). The enzyme is reversibly inactivated at high pH values and irreversibly inactivated at low pH values.
Inhibitors of collagenase include cysteine, EDTA, o-phenanthroline, 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonate, bipyridyl, 2,3-dimercaptopropanol or Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+. Collagenase is NOT inhibited by diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP) or serum.
You should not use collagenase clostridium histolyticum if you are allergic to it. This medicine should not be used to treat Peyronie's disease that affects the urethra (the tube for passing urine out of your bladder).
This list is not complete. Other drugs may affect collagenase clostridium histolyticum, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible drug interactions are listed here.

Collagenase type 1 is partially purified and has the original balance of collagenase, caseinase, clostripain and tryptic activities. The collagenase assay is a modification of the Mandl collagen digestion procedure wherein collagenase is incubated for five hours with native collagen and the extent of collagen breakdown is determined using the Moore and Stein, JBC, 176, 367, (1948) colorimetric ninhydrin method. Amino acids released are expressed as micromoles L-leucine per milligram collagenase in 5 hours at 37°C, pH 7.5. Caseinase activity, a measure of non-specific proteolytic activity, is determined using the above assay and substituting 25 milligrams vitamin free casein for the collagen substrate. Caseinase activity is calculated as for collagenase activity. Clostripain activity is measured after activation in 2.5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). One unit hydrolyzes one micromole of BAEE per minute at 25°C, pH 7.6, after activation. Tryptic activity is assayed using the same BAEE method as clostripain, but without activation.
No allergic sensitivity or toxic reactions have been noted in clinical use when used as directed. However, one case of systemic manifestations of hypersensitivity to collagenase in a patient treated for more than 1 year with a combination of collagenase and cortisone has been reported.
Because the enzyme in Collagenase SANTYL* Ointment is activated by the hydrophilic environment of the wound, it is important to use dressings that maintain moisture balance. Avoid silver and iodine dressings; these substances inactivate collagenase. 781b155fdc
