Cathepsin H Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by CTSH is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase important in the overall degradation of lysosomal proteins. It is composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. The encoded protein (cathepsin H), which belongs to the peptidase C1 protein family, can act both as an aminopeptidase and as an endopeptidase. Increased expression of CTSH has been correlated with malignant progression of prostate tumors. Alternate splicing of CTSH results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

The Cathepsin H Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive antibody designed for the detection of Cathepsin H protein in various biological samples. This antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human Cathepsin H protein. The resulting polyclonal antibody exhibits high affinity and specificity towards Cathepsin H protein, making it an ideal tool for various research applications.

The Cathepsin H Polyclonal Antibody is suitable for use in Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence assays. It has been validated for use in human, mouse, and rat samples, and has been shown to detect Cathepsin H protein in a variety of tissues, including brain, liver, kidney, and lung.

This antibody is supplied as a liquid solution in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative. It is available in various sizes to meet the needs of different research applications. The Cathepsin H Polyclonal Antibody is a reliable and effective tool for the detection and analysis of Cathepsin H protein in biological samples, and is an essential component of any research program focused on this important protein.
