Cathepsin B Antibody

Cathepsin B Antibodyis available at Gentaur for Next week Delivery.

Description: Cathepsin B is a normal lysosomal cysteine proteinase that is expressed in all cells. It is synthesized as an inactive 43 kDa pro-enzyme which, by removal of a 62 amino acid propeptide, is activated to the single-chain form of 31 kDa or the two-chain form (25 and 5 kDa subunits). Matured cathepsin B is normally localized in the lysosomes where it functions in protein turnover. Cathepsin B is also shown capable of degrading extracellular matrix proteins. Elevated levels of cathepsin B correlate with malignancy sμggesting that this enzyme may be a useful prognostic marker for several types of human cancers.

Immunogen Sequence:Synthetic peptide surrounding amino acid 322 of human cathepsins B

Target Alternative Name:CTSB, CPSB, APPS, EC 3.4.22.1

Species Reactivities:Human

Tag Line:/

Formulation:30 µg (0.2 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-cathepsin B polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.01% thimerosal.

Purification: Affinity purified

Application:Western blot, Immunohistochemistry, Flow cytometry

Positive Control:/

Application And Usages:Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml) amd in Immunohistochemistry (10-20 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The purified antibody detects both the proform (37-43 kDa) and the mature form (25 kDa) of cathepsin B. It reacts with human and mouse and in a lesser extent with rat samples.

Handling:The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.
