If the exact amino acid sequence of this recombinant protein is critical to your application, please explicitly request the full and complete sequence of this protein before ordering.
Protein Length
Full Length of Mature Protein
Tag Info
N-terminal His-tagged/Tag-Free
The tag type will be determined during production process. If you have specified tag type, please tell us and we will develop the specified tag preferentially.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C, for extended storage, conserve at -20°C or -80°C.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)
Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules and MHC class II antigen presentation. The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L.
Gene References into Functions
  1. Findings demonstrate that neuronal reactive oxygen species promote maturation of microglial CatS which facilitates activation of NMDA in the spinal dorsal horn. PMID:28039043
  2. Inhibition of cathepsin S release is one mechanism that is responsible for purinergic P2X7 antagonist efficacy in neuropathic pain. PMID:20629190
  3. Activated rat hepatic stellate cells express the class II transactivator, the invariant chain (CD74), the MHC class II molecules, as well as cathepsin S, all of which are known to be responsible for the initial steps of successful antigen presentation. PMID:17178165
  4. endogenous CatS released by peripheral macrophages contributes to the maintenance of neuropathic hyperalgesia following nerve injury PMID:17250968
  5. There is an altered expression of cathepsin S and cathepsin X in the spinal cord of a neuropathic pain model; including cellular distribution and pain development. PMID:18700000
  6. under neuropathic conditions, noxious stimulation of primary afferent fibers induces release of CatS from microglia, which liberates FKN from dorsal horn neurons, thereby contributing to the amplification and maintenance of chronic pain PMID:19474321
