Target of this antibody:
Cathepsin D
Alternative names of antibody target:
CTSD , CLN10, CPSD, MGC2311
Background information:
Cathepsin D is a normal lysosomal protease that is expressed in all cells. It is an aspartyl protease with a pH optimum in the range of 3-5, and contains two N-linked oligosaccharides. Cathepsin D is synthesized as an inactive 52 kDa pro-enzyme. Activation involves the proteolytic removal of the 43 amino acid profragment and an internal cleavage to generate the two-chain form made up of 34 and 14 kDa subunits. Cathepsin D contains the mannose-6-phosphate lysosomal localization signal that targets the enzyme to the lysosomal compartment where it functions in the normal degradation of proteins. In certain tumor cells, Cathepsin D is abnormally processed and is secreted in its 52 kDa precursor form. Numerous clinical studies as well as in vitro evidence sμggest that cathepsin D plays an important role in malignant transformation and may be a useful prognostic indicator for breast cancer.

Human, mouse, rat
Immunogene sequence:
Synthetic peptide surrounding amino acid 140 of mouse cathepsins D
Concentration of antibody:
0.5 mg/ml
Form of antibody:
Liquid
Formulation of this antibody:
100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-cathepsin D polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% thimerosal.
Purification method:
Affinity purified
This antibody has been succesfully tested for use in following methods:
Western blot
Recommended usage:
Western blot analysis (0.5-4 µg/ml) and in immunoprecipitation. However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The purified antibody detects both the 52 kDa proform and the 34 kDa cleaved fragment of Cathepsin D.
