| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
CTSF Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (271-484) and having a molecular mass of 26kDa.CTSF is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Cathepsin F ( CTSF) is a member of the peptidase C1 family. Cathepsins are papain family cysteine proteinases which are a main component of the lysosomal proteolytic system. The CTSF gene is ubiquitously expressed, and it maps to chromosome 11q13, close to the gene encoding cathepsin W. CTSF plays a role in normal protein catabolism. CTSF involved in some degradative processes occurring in tumor progression since it is highly expressed in some cancer cell lines. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
CATSF, CLN13, Cathepsin F, EC=3.4.22.41. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
