| Description | Frozen in 20 mM Malonate, pH 5.5, 1 mM EDTA, 400 mM NaCl.The most powerful of the lysosomal proteases. It has a higher specific activity than cathepsin B and H in the degradation of a variety of physiological protein substrates. The level of cathepsin L is a strong predictor of relapse and survival Frozen in 20 mM Malonate, pH 5.5, 1 mM EDTA, 400 mM NaCl.The most powerful of the lysosomal proteases. It has a higher specific activity than cathepsin B and H in the degradation of a variety of physiological protein substrates. The level of cathepsin L is a strong predictor of relapse and survival following treatment of a primary breast tumor.Activity: > 1 unit/mg of protein. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes one micromole of Z-Phe-Arg-AFC per minute at 25oC using 400 mM Na Acetate, pH 5.5 with 4 mM EDTA and 8 mM DTT as the activation buffer in the presence of Brij.Product Citations:Armstrong, Andrea, Niklas Mattsson, Hanna Appelqvist, Camilla Janefjord, Linnea Sandin, Lotta Agholme, Bob Olsson et al.

The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Contributes to the induction of non-cytocidal TNF effects including anti-viral state and activation of the acid sphingomyelinase...

Stimulates AMPK phosphorylation and activation in the liver and the skeletal muscle, enhancing glucose utilization and fatty-acid combustion. Antagonizes TNF-alpha by negatively regulating its expression in various tissues such as liver and macrophages, and also by counteracting its effects. Inhibits endothelial NF-kappa-B signaling through a cAMP-dependent pathway. May play a role in cell growth, angiogenesis and tissue remodeling by binding and sequestering various growth factors with distinct binding affinities, depending on the type of complex, LMW, MMW or HMW.Post-translationalHydroxylated Lys-33 was not identified in PubMed:16497731, probably due to poor representation of the N-terminal peptide in mass fingerprinting. HMW complexes are more extensively glycosylated than smaller oligomers. Hydroxylation and glycosylation of the lysine residues within the collagene-like domain of adiponectin seem to be critically involved in regulating the formation and/or secretion of HMW complexes and consequently contribute to the insulin-sensitizing activity of adiponectin in hepatocytes. O-glycosylated. Not N-glycosylated. O-linked glycans on hydroxylysines consist of Glc-Gal disaccharides bound to the oxygen atom of post-translationally added hydroxyl groups. Sialylated to varying degrees depending on tissue. Thr-22 appears to be the major site of sialylation. Higher sialylation found in SGBS adipocytes than in HEK fibroblasts. Sialylation is not required neither for heterodimerization nor for secretion. Not sialylated on the glycosylated hydroxylysines. Desialylated forms are rapidly cleared from the circulation...
