Human Cathepsin B (CTSB) ELISA Kit

Gel pack with blue ice.

Cathepsin B is an enzymatic protein belonging to the peptidase or protease families. The protein is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. It is a member of the peptidase C1 family. Cathepsin B was once suspected as a candidate protease participating in the conversion of beta-amyloid precursor protein into the amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer's disease patients. However, this function is now known to be mediated by BACE1 protease. It is now thought that cathepsin B can degrade beta-amyloid precursor protein into harmless fragments. Thus, it is conceivable cathepsin B may play a pivotal role in the natural defense against Alzheimer's disease.

Human Cathepsin B (CTSB) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human CTSB. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human CTSB and analogues was observed.
