Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
CTSZ Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 265 amino acids (62-303) and having a molecular mass of 29.5kDa.CTSZ is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Cathepsin-Z (CTSZ) is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase and member of the peptidase C1 family. CTSZ, which has been also known as cathepsin X and cathepsin P, exhibits carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. CTSZ is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and primary tumors and, similar to other members of this family, takes part in tumorigenesis. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Cathepsin Z preproprotein, Cathepsin Z, CTSX, Cathepsin P, Cathepsin X, CTSZ, Cathepsin-Z. |
| 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. |
