Description
Cathepsin K, Active, rat recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.
Predominant proteinase responsible for the resorption of the bone matrix.
Biomolecule/Target: Cathepsin K
Alternates names: CTSK, CTSO, CTSO3
Synonyms: CTSK, CTSO, CTSO3
Background Information: Cathepsin K, a member of the papain cysteine proteinase family is the predominant proteinase responsible for the resorption of the bone matrix. Cathepsin cleaves proteins such as collagen type I, collagen type II and osteonectin, thereby playing a role in bone remodeling and resorption in osteoporosis, osteolytic bone metastasis and rheumatoid arthritis (Bromme and Okamoto, 1995; Drake, F. et al 1996; Bossard et al, 1996).
