cleavable
Able to split
Cleavable describes something capable of being cleaved—split, divided, or separated along natural lines or planes.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: minerals that split along crystalline planes, molecules that can be broken at specific bonds, or materials designed to separate under certain conditions.
The protein contains a cleavable linker sequence.
