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.

Sf9, Baculovirus cells.

CTSZ protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 10% glycerol & Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4).

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.

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

The specific activity is determent as the ability of 1 unit to convert 1.0 pmole of Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 to MCA- Pro-Leu-OH per minute at pH 3.5 at 25C and is > 1,400 pmol/min/ug.
