CTSB Protein (C-His, Human)

Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Z-LR-AMC (R&D Systems, Catalog # ES008) The specific activity is >2,500 pmoles/min/μg. (Activation description: The enzyme achieves its activity under buffer with DTT)

The recombinant human CTSB existing as the proform consists of 332 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 37.2 kDa. rhCTSB migrates with the molecular weight of 43 and 36 kDa as the proform and mature form rspectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
