Description
Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules. The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L and cathepsin N.

Expression Plasmid/cDNA
A DNA sequence encoding the pro form of human CTSS (NP_004070.3) (Met 1-Ile 331) with a carboxy-terminal polyhistidine tag was expressed.
-
Protein Species
Human
-
Molecular weight
The secreted recombinant human CTSS consists of 326 amino acids with the predicted molecular mass of 37 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
-
Purity
> 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
-
Activity
Measured by its ability to cleave a fluorogenic peptide substrate, (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl) acetyl-Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Val-Glu-Nva-Trp-Arg-Lys (2, 4-dinitrophenyl)-NH2 (R&D Systems, Catalog#ES002). Cleavage of ES002 can be measured using excitation and emission wavelengths at 320 nm and 405 nm, respectively. The specific activity is >300 pmoles/min/μg.
