chondroitin sulfate | non-essential activator in assays using low-molecular-mass substrates, 4fold stimulation of activity at 0.2 mM | Homo sapiens | |
dermatan sulfate | non-essential activator in assays using low-molecular-mass substrates, 4fold stimulation of activity at 0.2 mM | Homo sapiens | |
heparin | 12fold stimulation of activity at 0.2 mM | Homo sapiens | |
additional information | hyaluronan has no effect on activity | Homo sapiens | |
NaCl | 300 mM NaCl stimulates enzyme activity | Homo sapiens |
General Stability | Organism |
---|---|
the activity of cathepsin K alone is relatively unstable in aqueous solution, having a half-life of approx. 7 min at pH 7.4 and 37°C. Increasing the ionic strength of the incubation mixture to 300 mM with NaCl decreases the half-life by 7fold. The presence of chondrotin sulfate and dermatan sulfate slightly reduces the stability of cathepsin K (half lives of 5.5 and 6.0 min respectively), whereas heparin has a strong stabilizing effect and increases the enzyme's half-life by more than 5fold (38 min) | Homo sapiens |
