Bioactivity
(Cathepsin S (CTSS) is a lysosomal cysteine protease of the papain family. It plays a major role in the processing of the MHC class IIassociated invariant chain. It has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and degenerative disorders associated with the cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system. Mouse Cathepsin S is synthesized as a preproenzyme of 340 amino acid residues consisting a signal peptide (residues 117), a pro region (residues 18122), and the mature enzyme (residues 123340). Cathepsin S is less abundant in tissues than Cathepsins B, L and H. The activity of recombinant mouse CTSS is measured by its ability to cleave a fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Val-Glu-Nval-Trp-Arg-Lys(Dnp)-NH2 in the assay buffer 50 mM NaOAc, 5 mM DTT, 250 mM NaCl, pH 4.5. The rmCTSS is diluted to 50 ug/ml in assay buffer, then incubated at room temperature for 2h. The incubated rmCTSS is diluted to 5 ug/mL in assay buffer. Loading into a black well plate 50 uL of 5 ug/mL rmCTSS and start the reaction by adding 50 uL of 20 uM substrate, with a substrate blank containing 50 uL assay buffer, 50 uL substrate, and no rmCTSS. Then read at excitiation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm, respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes. The specific activity of recombinant mouse CTSS is > 10 pmol/min/ug.)

Product Notes
The CTSS ctss (Catalog #AAA161867) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Cathepsin S (CTSS) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CTSS ctss for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Leu123~Glu 339. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cathepsin S (CTSS), Active Protein" 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
