Description

Note: 1 mU = 1 milliunit., Recombinant, human procathepsin K (amino acids 19-329) (GenBank target symbol = S79895, ACC No. P43235) expressed in E. coli with a methionine residue inserted at amino acid 18 to create a new N-terminal initiation site. Cathepsin K, a member of the papain superfamily of cysteine proteinases, plays an important role in osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and collagen degradation. Cathepsin K is synthesized as an inactive proenzyme that is converted to its mature, active form by proteolytic cleavage of the 99 amino acid propeptide domain. Inhibitors of cathepsin K include leupeptin (Cat. No. 108975) (IC50 = 70 nM), E-64 (Cat. No. 324890) (IC50 = 5 nM), and cystatin (Cat. No. 324891 or 324896). Requires activation prior to use., Recombinant, human procathepsin K (amino acids 19-329) (GenBank target symbol = S79895, ACC No. P43235) expressed in E. coli with a methionine residue inserted at amino acid 18 to create a new N-terminal initiation site.
