Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE SARS-CoV-2 PLpro on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
The coronaviral proteases, papain-like protease (PLpro) and 3C-like protease (3CLpro), are attractive antiviral drug targets because they are essential for coronaviral replication. Although the primary function of PLpro and 3CLpro are to process the viral polyprotein in a coordinated manner, PLpro has the additional function of stripping ubiquitin and ISG15 from host-cell proteins to aid coronaviruses in their evasion of the host innate immune responses.

Synonyms :
Replicase polyprotein 1a; pp1a; nsp1; PL2-PRO; PL-PRO; Papain-like Protease; Plpro
