Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expressed in Pichia pastoris strain X-33 Homo sapiens

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
T223V the mutation removes the potential glycosylation site Homo sapiens
T223V/C138S the mutations prevent catalytic activity Homo sapiens
T223V/C138S/K99A/K104A the mutations disrupt the putative heparin binding site Homo sapiens

General Stability

General Stability Organism
heparin reduces the stability of the pro form of cathepsin L at pH 5 by binding to a putative heparin binding motif (BBXB) in the pro-domain, in contrast heparin only slightly destabilizes the mature cathepsin L domain Homo sapiens
