Kit's description
Cathepsin G is an enzymatic protein belonging to the peptidase or protease families. The protein is found in azurophil granules of neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The encoded protease has a specificity similar to that of chymotrypsin C, and may participate in the killing and digestion of engulfed pathogens, and in connective tissue remodeling at sites of inflammation. In BioVision’s Cathepasin G Activity assay Kit, Cathepsin G will cleave the substrate and release the dye group, pNA (4-Nitroaniline), which can be detect at 405 nm. In presence of the Cathepsin G specific inhibitor, the cleavage will be stopped. The kit provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test suitable for the activity of Cathepsin G.
Highlights
• Detection method: Absorbance (405 nm) • Species reactivity: Mammalian • Kit size: 100 assays • Applications: Detects alternative proteolytic enzymes such as the lysosomal cathepsin G proteases that can initiate or propagate proapoptotic signals.
Kit's benefits
• Simple one-step procedure; takes only 1 hours • Fast, robust and convenient • Cathepsin-G assay is straightforward, and can be adapted to 96-well plate assays.
