Cathepsin E Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a gastric aspartyl protease that functions as a disulfide-linked homodimer. This protease, which is a member of the peptidase C1 family, has a specificity similar to that of pepsin A and cathepsin D. It is an intracellular proteinase that does not appear to be involved in the digestion of dietary protein and is found in highest concentration in the surface of epithelial mucus-producing cells of the stomach. It is the first aspartic proteinase expressed in the fetal stomach and is found in more than half of gastric cancers. It appears, therefore, to be an oncofetal antigen. Transcript variants utilizing alternative polyadenylation signals and two transcript variants encoding different isoforms exist for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
CTSE: May have a role in immune function. Probably involved in the processing of antigenic peptides during MHC class II-mediated antigen presentation. May play a role in activation-induced lymphocyte depletion in the thymus, and in neuronal degeneration and glial cell activation in the brain. Belongs to the peptidase A1 family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Protease; EC 3.4.23.34
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q31
Cellular Component: endosome
Molecular Function: protein homodimerization activity; aspartic-type endopeptidase activity
Biological Process: protein autoprocessing; digestion; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II; proteolysis

Product Notes
The CTSE ctse (Catalog #AAA823267) is a Blocking Peptide produced from Synthetic and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Cathepsin E Blocking Peptide reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Cathepsin E can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). Blocking Peptide to the diluted primary antibody in a molar ratio of 10:1 (peptide to antibody) and incubate the mixture at 4 degree C for overnight or at room temperature for 2 hours. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CTSE ctse 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 E, Blocking Peptide" 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
