Product Description
Cathepsin-B Mouse Recombinant, Active
Overview
Cathepsin B preproprotein (CTSB) is a papain-family cysteine protease which is normally located in lysosomes. CTSB is able to degrade several extracellular matrix components at both neutral and acidic pH and has been implicated in the progression of some human and rodent tumors progression and arthritis.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 2,000 pmol/min/ug and is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyze 1pmole of Z-Arg-Arg-AMC to Z-Arg-Arg and AMC per minute at pH 6.0 at 37C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | CTSB protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Storage | 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).Please avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
