Cathepsin H, Recombinant, Human, aa23-335, His-Tag (CTSH, Cathepsin H Mini Chain, Cathepsin H Heavy Chain, Cathepsin H Light Chain, CPSB)

Cathepsin H is a lysosomal cysteine protease of the papain family. It is synthesized as a precursor protein that is proteolytically processed to a mature form consisting of a light chain, a heavy chain, and a minichain. Cathepsin H is the only known monoaminopeptidase in the papain family. Cathepsin H is primarily an aminopeptidase, but also functions as an endopeptidase. Cathepsin H is potently inhibited by cystatins A, B, and C and by ovocystatin. Cathepsin H expression is altered in disease states such as prostate and colorectal cancers.
