• Field of Research:

  Neuroscience

• Relevance:

  Thiol protease important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes (Probable) . Plays a critical for normal cellular functions such as general protein turnover, antigen processing and bone remodeling. Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin and in the subsequent release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen. In neuroendocrine chromaffin cells secretory vesicles, catalyzes the prohormone proenkephalin processing to the active enkephalin peptide neurotransmitter.

• Endotoxin:

  Less than 1.0 EU/μg as determined by LAL method.

• Purity:

  Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  Yes

• Bioactivity:

  Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Z-LR-AMC, The specific activity is >32000 pmol/ min/μg.

• Form:

  Lyophilized powder

• Buffer:

  Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm sterile filtered 50 mM NaAc, 0.5 M NaCl, 6% Trehalose, pH 4.5

• Reconstitution:

  We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

• Storage Conditions:

  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.
