FabRICATOR® Z Enzyme
FabRICATOR Z Enzyme is supplied as a lyophilized powder with no preservatives added, and is available in 2000 unit vials for digestion of up to 2 mg mouse IgG2a and IgG3.
FabRICATOR Z (IdeZ) is a cysteine protease that digests mouse IgG2a and IgG3 at a specific site below the hinge, generating a homogenous pool of F(ab')2 and Fc fragments after 2 hours incubation.
Detailed Information
FabRICATOR Z digests mouse IgG2a and IgG3 at a specific site below the hinge region, producing a homogenous pool of F(ab')2 and Fc fragments. Most mouse IgG2a are digested by FabRICATOR Z within 2 hours although the enzyme:ab ratio and/or digestion time may need to be optimized for certain antibodies. There is no risk of overdigestion if the incubation time is prolonged. Since FabRICATOR Z digests IgG under physiological reaction conditions, the immunoreactivity is preserved.
FabRICATOR Z is derived from S. equi ssp. zooepidemicus and expressed in E. coli. The enzyme contains a His-tag and the molecular weight is 36 442 Da.
Storage and Stability
The FabRICATOR Z enzyme is supplied lyophilized, and is reconstituted by the addition of water. After reconstitution, FabRICATOR Z is stable for 1 month at +4-8°C. The product is shipped at ambient temperature, and should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
Unit Definition
One unit digests ≥ 95% of 1µg mouse IgG2a when incubated in 10 mM Tris, 10 mM NaCl, pH 6.5 at 37°C for 2 hours.

Yes, PNGaseF and FabRICATOR can be used in a one-pot reaction as long as the reaction conditions follow the specifications for the FabRICATOR enzyme. It is important to have native reaction conditions for FabRICATOR to remain active.
We have tested 4-6 M GuHCl which the enzyme does not withstand without significant decrease of activity. SDS have not been evaluated but 0.1% RapiGest from waters have negative influence on activity. Taken together the enzyme does not well tolerate denaturing agents although we have not tested this in more detailed studies.
Yes. FabRICATOR is compatible with EDTA. Make sure your pH is within 6-8.
No. According to the following reference, FabRICATOR does not digest IgM. Pavel-Rammingen et al., 2002. IdeS, a novel streptococcal cysteine proteinase with unique specificity for immunoglobulin G.
If we assume that the antibody concentration in serum is 15 mg/ml you would have to add 10-15 000 units to a sample of 1 ml serum. In 50 µl serum you would have to add 500 – 750 units of FabRICATOR.
