NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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. In addition, the encoded protein is antimicrobial, with bacteriocidal activity against S. aureus and N. gonorrhoeae. Transcript variants utilizing alternative polyadenylation signals exist for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
Uniprot Description
CTSG: Serine protease with trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like specificity. Cleaves complement C3.

Product Notes
The CTSG ctsg (Catalog #AAA8246331) is a Peptide produced from Synthetic and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: His-Pro-Gl n-Tyr-Asn- Gln-Arg. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cathepsin G, 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
