Active Native Human Cathepsin H

• Cat.No.: CTSH-190H

Specification

• Description: A more basic protein than Cathepsin B or L. Functions as both an aminopeptidase and endopeptidase. Cathepsin H, like cathepsin L and B, is involved in the catabolism of proteins in the lysosomal system.
• Source: Human Liver
• Species: Human
• Form: Frozen
• Bio-activity: Greater than 1 unit per mg protein. One unit is de ned as the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes one μmole of L-arginine-beta-naphtylamide per minute at 40°C in 75 mM potassium phosphate bu er, pH 6.8 with 1 mM EDTA and 3 mM cysteine.
• Molecular Mass: MW 28,000
• Purity: >= 95% by SDS-PAGE
