Recombinant Human Cathepsin L1 / CTSL1 Protein (His tag)
Description
MW: 37,564 Da. Purity >97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE. Background: Cathepsin L is a lysosomal cysteine protease that plays a major role in intracellular protein catabolism, and is potent in degrading collagen, laminin, elastin, as well as alpha-1 protease inhibitor and other structural proteins of basement membranes. It is secreted by liver flukes at all stages of their development in the mammalian host, are believed to play important roles in facilitating parasite migration (tissue degradation)
