CATSF, CLN13, Cathepsin F, EC=3.4.22.41.

Cathepsin F ( CTSF) is a member of the peptidase C1 family. Cathepsins are papain family cysteine proteinases which are a main component of the lysosomal proteolytic system. The CTSF gene is ubiquitously expressed, and it maps to chromosome 11q13, close to the gene encoding cathepsin W. CTSF plays a role in normal protein catabolism. CTSF involved in some degradative processes occurring in tumor progression since it is highly expressed in some cancer cell lines.

CTSF Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (271-484) and having a molecular mass of 26kDa.CTSF is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
