Description | The antibody detects endogenous level of total CTSB antibody. Cathepsin B (CSTB), part of the papain family of proteases, is a widely expressed lysosomal cysteine endopeptidase (1,2). Like other family members, cathepsin B is produced from a larger precursor form, pro-cathepsin B, which in its glycosylated form runs at approximately 40 kDa on SDS-PAGE, and is then activated by cleavage of a 62-amino acid pro-peptide. High levels of cathepsin B are found in macrophages and osteoclasts, as well as various types of cancer cells, including lung, colon, prostate, breast, and stomach. In addition, expression of cathepsin B has been associated with multiple sclerosis (3), rheumatoid arthritis (4), and pancreatitis (5). While generally localized to |
