ProTEV Protease is an engineered form of TEV protease, a highly specific proteolytic enzyme that cleaves within a seven-amino-acid sequence. It can be used to cleave protein fusions that have been engineered to contain the seven-amino-acid sequence at the desired cleavage site. ProTEV Protease also contains an HQ-tag located at the N-terminus of the protein, which allows it to be immobilized on affinity resins and removed from the cleavage reaction.
