CST6 Human, Active

Source: E.coli.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.Cystatin E/M or CST6 is part of the cystatin type 2 family. Part of the cystatin type 2 family members can act as cysteine protease inhibitors, whereas cystatin E/M regulates cathepsin B inhibitors and not cathepsin C. cystatin E/M is a protein the when secreted, has an effect on osteogenesis and bone resorption, insulin regulation, response to systemic inflammation & hepatocyte growth factor receptors.CST6 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 142 amino acids (29-149 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 15.9kDa.CST6 is fused to a 21 amino acid His tag at N-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Applications

Functional Assay

Purification

Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Components

The CST6 solution (0.5mg/1ml) contains 10% glycerol, 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.1M NaCl and 1mM DTT.

Storage Conditions

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

The IC50 value is < 10nM. The inhibitory function of Cystatin 6 on protease activity of papain was measured by a fluorometric assay using Z-FR-AMC at pH 7.5 at 25°C.
