Relevance
Thiol protease important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes (Probable) . Plays a critical for normal cellular functions such as general protein turnover, antigen processing and bone remodeling. Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin and in the subsequent release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen. In neuroendocrine chromaffin cells secretory vesicles, catalyzes the prohormone proenkephalin processing to the active enkephalin peptide neurotransmitter.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU/μg as determined by LAL method.
Purity
Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Activity
Yes
Bioactivity
Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Z-LR-AMC, The specific activity is >32000 pmol/ min/μg.
Form
Lyophilized powder
Buffer
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm sterile filtered 50 mM NaAc, 0.5 M NaCl, 6% Trehalose, pH 4.5
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Storage Conditions
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
