Cleaved-Cathepsin Z (L62) rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, monkey

Backgroud: The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase and member of the peptidase C1 family. It exhibits both carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. The encoded protein has also been known as cathepsin X and cathepsin P. This gene is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and primary tumors and, like other members of this family, may be involved in tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008],catalytic activity:Release of C-terminal amino acid residues with broad specificity, but lacks action on C-terminal proline. Shows weak endopeptidase activity.,function:Exhibits carboxy-monopeptidase as well as carboxy-dipeptidase activity.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed.,
