NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase C1 (papain) family of cysteine proteases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, which encode preproproteins that are proteolytically processed to generate mature protein products. This enzyme is secreted by antigen-presenting cells during inflammation and may induce pain and itch via activation of G-protein coupled receptors. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired wound healing, reduced tumorigenesis in a pancreatic cancer model, and reduced pathogenesis in a myasthenia gravis model.

Uniprot Description
CTSS: Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules. The bond- specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L and cathepsin N. Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Protease; EC 3.4.22.27
Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell surface; membrane; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; lysosome
Molecular Function: peptidase activity; collagen binding; proteoglycan binding; hydrolase activity; fibronectin binding; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; laminin binding; cysteine-type peptidase activity
Biological Process: collagen catabolic process; proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process; regulation of sensory perception of pain; proteolysis; bone resorption; positive regulation of inflammatory response

Product Notes
The Mouse CTSS ctss (Catalog #AAA905650) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA905650 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse CTSS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "cathepsin S, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
