Recombinant Mouse Cathepsin-C

DPPI, Cathepsin C, CTSC

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.

CTSC Mouse Recombinant produced in HEK293 cells is a single, polypeptide chain containing 444 amino acids (25-462 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 50.5kDa. CTSC is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
