Description
RNASE7 is one of the final RNase A superfamily ribonucleases. It was isolated from skin-derived stratum corneum. This protein exhibited potent ribonuclease activity and thus may contribute to the well known ribonuclease activity of human skin. It revealed broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against many pathogenic microorganisms and remarkably potent activity against a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. Recombinant human RNASE7 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography
