Cleaved-Cathepsin Z (L62) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase and member of the peptidase C1 family. It exhibits both carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. The encoded protein has also been known as cathepsin X and cathepsin P. This gene is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and primary tumors and, like other members of this family, may be involved in tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008], catalytic activity:Release of C-terminal amino acid residues with broad specificity, but lacks action on C-terminal proline. Shows weak endopeptidase activity., function:Exhibits carboxy-monopeptidase as well as carboxy-dipeptidase activity., similarity:Belongs to the peptidase C1 family., tissue specificity:Widely expressed.
