Phacolysin is a proteolytic enzyme derived from fungi, primarily utilized in industrial protein hydrolysis. It functions by cleaving peptide bonds within lens crystallins, facilitating the breakdown of insoluble proteins into soluble peptides. The specific molecular formula and CAS number are not publicly standardized for this generic trade name as it often refers to a functional activity rather than a single purified chemical entity.
Strict storage at -20°C is required to maintain enzymatic stability. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE to prevent inhalation or skin contact with concentrated powders. This product is strictly for R&D and industrial use, not for direct human clinical administration.
