Human cathepsin O. Molecular cloning from a breast carcinoma, production of the active enzyme in Escherichia coli, and expression analysis in human tissues.
1 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
A cDNA encoding a novel member of the cysteine proteinase family of proteins has been cloned from a human breast carcinoma cDNA library, by using a polymerase chain reaction-based cloning strategy. The isolated cDNA contains an open reading frame coding for a polypeptide of 321 amino acids that has been tentatively called cathepsin O. This protein presents all the structural features characteristic of the...
