CTSZ Mouse, Active

Source: Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.Cathepsin-Z (CTSZ) is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase and a member of the peptidase C1 family. CTSZ, which is known also as cathepsin X and cathepsin P, exhibits carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. CTSZ is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and primary tumors and as other members of this family, takes part in tumorigenesis.CTSZ Mouse Recombinant produced in Baculovirus is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 292 amino acids (23-306 aa) and having a molecular mass of 32.8kDa.CTSZ is fused to a 8 amino acid His tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
