| Reconstitution Instruction |
Briefly centrifuged the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. It is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. The default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. |
| Applications |
Positive Control; Immunogen; SDS-PAGE; WB |
| Research Area |
Signal Transduction |
| Target Function |
Thiol protease involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH. May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation. Involved in the release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen. |
| Subcellular Location |
Lysosome. Secreted. Apical cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Extracellular side. |
| Protein Family |
Peptidase C1 family |
| Associated Diseases |
Pycnodysostosis (PKND) |
| Tissue Specificity |
Predominantly expressed in osteoclasts (bones). Expressed in thyroid epithelial cells. |
