Specifications
≥1’000mU/mg protein. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 1μmol of substrate per min. at 37°C, pH 5.5.
Product Name Alternative
Procathepsin O, Procathepsin O2, Procathepsin X
Certification
RUO
UniProt
P43235
Source
Produced in E. coli (aa 19-329) . Methionine was introduced at aa 18 to create a new N-terminal sequence (MEEIL) .
Stability
Stable for several months when stored at -80°C. After activation, cathepsin is highly autoproteolytic. When not used immediately, add MMTS (Methyl methanethiosulfonate) to 1mM final concentration for stabilization and shock freeze in liquid nitrogen. Do not store dilutions of the enzyme.
Concentration
150μg/ml
Purity
≥95% (SDS-PAGE)
Molecular Weight
~35kDa
Shipping Conditions
Dry Ice
Storage Conditions
-80°C
Notes
Inhibitors: Cathepsin K is inhibited by leupeptin (Prod. No. ALX-260-009) (IC 50 =70nM), E-64 (IC 50 =5nM) or cystatine. Minimal effects exhibit pepstatin, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Prod. No. ALX-270-184), inhibitors of aspartyl and serine proteases. No inhibition was observed by addition of EDTA or phenanthroline, classical inhibitors of metalloproteases.
Formulation
Liquid. In 25mM TRIS, pH 8.0, containing 500mM sodium chloride.
