Description

CTSS Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 336 amino acids (17-331) and having a molecular mass of 38.1kDa. CTSS is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromato

Protein Background

Cathepsin S (CTSS) belongs to the peptidase C1 family. CTSS is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that participates in the degradation of antigenic proteins to peptides for presentation on MHC class II molecules. CTSS functions as an elastase over a broad pH

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Cathepsin S, MGC3886, CTSS, Cathepsin-S.

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.
