Biological Activity

Description

Cathepsin D Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is an approximately 56.0 kDa mouse cathepsin D with a His tag. Cathepsin D is a lysosomal aspartic protease of the pepsin family[1].

Background

Cathepsin D, a lysosomal aspartic protease, belongs to the pepsin family. Mouse Cathepsin D consists of a signal peptide (residues 120), a propeptide (residues 2164), and a mature chain (residues 65410) (13). Cathepsin D is expressed in most cells and overexpressed in in some cancer (breast, melanoma, ovary, etc.). Cathepsin D increases the incidence of clinical metastasis involves increased cell growth and decreased contact inhibition rather than escape of cancer cells through the basement membrane[1][2].
Cathepsin D acts as a protease following its activation at an acidic pH, or as a ligand of different membrane receptors at a more neutral pH[1].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to cleave a peptide substrate, Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm (top read). The specific activity is 5026.88 pmol/min/µg, as measured under the described conditions.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM MES, 150 mM NaCl, pH 5.5.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
