Function
The CLPP antibody, HRP conjugated, targets the protease component of the Clp complex. This protein plays a crucial role in the ATP-dependent cleavage of peptides and various proteins. While exhibiting low peptidase activity in the absence of CLPX, the Clp complex effectively degrades CSN1S1, CSN2, and CSN3, along with synthetic peptides (in vitro). This suggests a broad housekeeping function rather than specific substrate degradation. Notably, it cleaves PINK1 within the mitochondrion.
