| Formulation |
CTSZ protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
CTSZ produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 292 amino acids (23-306a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 32.8kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa). CTSZ is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and 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 |
Sf9, Baculovirus cells. |
| Synonyms |
Cathepsin Z, CTSZ. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear 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).Please avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
