DNase I is an enzyme that degrades DNA. DNase I is mainly produced by digestive system organs, such as the pancreas and parotid gland. Three types of DNase I are known in mammals: pancreatic type, parotid type, and pancreatico-parotid type. DNase I plays a key role in the cleavage of extracellular DNA, and is critical for limiting inflammatory responses and maintaining homeostasis. DNase I is responsible for digesting extracellular nucleoproteins, which may be essential for preventing autoimmune reactions. Decreased DNase I activity may be associated with the occurrence and development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). DNase I (filtered) is filtered through a 0.22 µM membrane and is not tested for pyrogenicity[1].
