Product Properties
Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human CTSD in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human CTSD and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in the aorta extracellular space (at protein level). Expressed in liver (at protein level).
Post Translational Modifications
N- and O-glycosylated. Undergoes proteolytic cleavage and activation by ADAM30. As well as the major heavy chain which starts at Leu-169, 2 minor forms starting at Gly-170 and Gly-171 have been identified. An additional form starting at Ala-168 has also been identified.
Function
Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Plays a role in APP processing following cleavage and activation by ADAM30 which leads to APP degradation. Involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease.
