Cathepsin D Polyclonal Antibody

CTSD encodes a member of the A1 family of peptidases. The encoded preproprotein (cathepsin D) is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the cathepsin D light and heavy chains, which heterodimerize to form the mature enzyme. This enzyme exhibits pepsin-like activity and plays a role in protein turnover and in the proteolytic activation of hormones and growth factors. Mutations in this gene play a causal role in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-10 and may be involved in the pathogenesis of several other diseases, including breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer's disease.

The Cathepsin D Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive tool designed for the detection and quantification of Cathepsin D protein in various biological samples. This antibody is produced using advanced techniques, ensuring high affinity and specificity towards Cathepsin D.

Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease that plays a crucial role in the degradation of intracellular proteins. It is involved in various physiological and pathological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor progression. The Cathepsin D Polyclonal Antibody enables researchers to investigate the expression and localization of Cathepsin D in different tissues and cell types.

This antibody has been extensively validated for its performance in various applications, including Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. It exhibits minimal cross-reactivity with other related proteins, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

The Cathepsin D Polyclonal Antibody is supplied as a liquid formulation, ready to use for immediate experimentation. It is provided in a convenient size, allowing for multiple experiments without the need for frequent reordering.

With its exceptional sensitivity and specificity, the Cathepsin D Polyclonal Antibody is an indispensable tool for researchers studying the role of Cathepsin D in various biological processes. Its reliable performance and ease of use make it an ideal choice for both basic research and clinical applications.
