Related Product Information for CTSG active protein
Cathepsins are a group of intracellular proteolytic enzymes located within the lysosomes. On the basis of the specificity towards their substrates, the cathepsins have been assigned the names: Cathepsins A, B, C, D, E, G H and L. Cathepsin G is a serine protease, it consists of a single polypeptide with a MW of 30kD as determined by SDS-PAGE. Its substrates are collagen and proteoglycans. Cathepsins are localized primarily in lysosomes or endosomes, but translocated to the cytosol during apoptosis. The translocation allows these proteases to interact with caspases or other apoptosis signaling mechanisms. Studies show that cathepsins cleave certain caspases, and caspase inhibitors can inhibit cathepsin activity in vitro.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase S1 protein family, is found in azurophil granules of neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The encoded protease has a specificity similar to that of chymotrypsin C, and may participate in the killing and digestion of engulfed pathogens, and in connective tissue remodeling at sites of inflammation. Transcript variants utilizing alternative polyadenylation signals exist for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

CTSG: Serine protease with trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like specificity. Cleaves complement C3.

Product Notes

The CTSG ctsg (Catalog #AAA635218) is an Active Protein produced from Human neutrophils and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Suitable for use as an antigen in immunological protocols. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CTSG ctsg 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cathepsin G, 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.
