TEV Protease has been used in the removal of histidine tag from recombinant mitogen activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14), Connexin43 (Cx43) c-terminal fragment and δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase from Oryza sativa. It has also been used in the elution of purified proteasomes from human leukemia cell lines K562.
The tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease is a useful tool for the removal of fusion tags from recombinant proteins.
Immobilized TEV protease on streptavidin-agarose is an efficient tool for fusion protein cleavage. TEV protease has also been used in a study to investigate proteolytic processing of nlrp1b for inflammasome activity.
