Human CTSD, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Human Cathepsin D is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu21-Leu412 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Plays a role in APP processing following cleavage and activation by ADAM30 which leads to APP degradation (PubMed:27333034). Involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease. [The UniProt Consortium]
