Cathepsin H (Ala21-Val333)_x000D_ Accession # P49935 |
His |
N-term |
C-term |
|
Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC |
Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Biological Activity |
Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate, Arg7amido4methylcoumarin (RAMC). The specific activity is >700 pmol/min/μg. Test result meets the standard. |
Expression System |
HEK293 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight |
36.23 kDa |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-50 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background |
Cathepsin H (CatH) is a lysosomal cysteine protease with a unique aminopeptidase activity that is extensively expressed in the lung, pancreas, thymus, kidney, liver, skin, and brain. Owing to its specific enzymatic activity, CatH has critical effects on the regulation of biological behaviours of cancer cells and pathological processes in brain diseases. |
Synonyms |
