Deoxyribonuclease
Also known as: DNAase; DNAse; Dnase
Description
Deoxyribonuclease is a type of endogenous Nuclease Enzyme.
Biological Function of Deoxyribonuclease
Nucleic Acids
Deoxyribonuclease catalyzes the breakdown of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into individual Nucleotides at specific sites along the DNA molecule.
Therapeutic Use of Synthetic Deoxyribonuclease
Metabolism
Pulmozyme (a synthetic, pharmaceutical Drug that is recombinant Deoxyribonuclease) (30 - 40 mg per day) may increase the fluidity of the Mucous produced in the Respiratory System of Cystic Fibrosis patients (by breaking down the Deoxyribonucleic Acid content of the thick Mucous produced by Cystic Fibrosis patients): [1]
