Product Description
Cathepsin-C Mouse Recombinant
Overview
CTSC has an important role in the activation of granule serine proteases in inflammatory cells.CTSC catalyses excision of dipeptides from the N-terminus of protein and peptide substrates. Once activated by CTSC, proteases are capable of degrading extracellular matrix components, which can result in tissue damage and chronic inflammation. CTSCcomprises of 4 subunits, each composed of the N-terminal proregion fragment, heavy chain and light chains. Defects in the CTSC protein have been demonstratedto result in Papillon-Lefevre disease which is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Biological Activity
> 50,000 pmol/min/ug and is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 1pmole of GlyArg-AMC / minute at pH 6.0 at 37C.
