Cathepsin L2/CTSL2 Protein(C-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Cathepsin L2/Cathepsin V is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Val18-Val334 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Val18-Val334. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 39 kDa. Protein function: Cathepsin L2 belongs to the Peptidase C1 family. Cathepsin L2 can be autocatalytically convertedto the mature form as a proenzyme in lysosomes at pH=7.0. Cathepsin L2 cannot be expressed in normal mammary gland, colon and peritumoral tissue, but it can be expressed in breast carcinomas and colorectal tissues. These suggeats Cathepsin L2 may play a role in tumor processes. Cathepsin L2 is specifically expressed in the testis, thymus, and corneal epithelium. Protein function: Cysteine protease. May have an important role in corneal physiology. [The UniProt Consortium]
