Recombinant

TEV protease

Tobacco Etch Virus Protease (TEVp) is a highly sequence‑specific cysteine protease engineered for exceptional precision and reliability in protein processing. Recognizing the canonical ENLYFQ↓G motif, TEV protease enables clean and efficient removal of fusion tags or affinity partners, preserving the integrity, structure, and function of your protein of interest.

Produced through microbial fermentation and rigorously purified, our TEVp delivers consistent performance and optimal activity. Designed to minimize off-target cleavage, it delivers the reliability you need for confident and reproducible downstream workflows.

Recombinant TEV protease

Controlled Experimental Systems

Tobacco Etch Virus protease (TEV protease, TEVp) is a highly sequence-specific cysteine protease that recognizes the ENLYFQ|G cleavage motif. Its exceptional specificity enables precise removal of affinity tags or fusion partners without affecting the target protein, resulting in clean and functional products for downstream applications.

Recombinant TEV protease expressed in Escherichia coli provides a well-defined and consistent enzyme preparation. Sequence optimization of our TEVp improves solubility and reduces autocleavage, while recombinant production ensures high purity and batch-to-batch reproducibility compared to less controlled preparations.

This supports controlled protein processing workflows, reliable tag removal and reproducible analytical and preparative results.

Production and Purification

Our recombinant TEV protease is produced through microbial fermentation and purified using chromatography-based processes to ensure high purity and consistency. Each batch is manufactured under strictly controlled process parameters.

Before release, identity and purity are fully verified and documented in a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) provided with every product.

Applications

Recombinant TEV Protease is used in:

  • Removal of fusion tags, affinity tags, and solubility enhancers
  • Protein purification and polishing steps
  • Structural biology workflows (e.g., crystallography, cryo‑EM sample prep)
  • Preparation of proteins for functional and biochemical assays
  • Analytical methods requiring clean, sequence‑specific cleavage

For projects requiring precise, sequence‑defined cleavage and documented recombinant production, TEV protease offers a highly controlled and reliable processing tool.
