    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Cathepsin D (E179) Antibody detects endogenous levels of preprocathepsin D, procathepsin D and the heavy chain subunit of mature cathepsin D protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Glu179 of mouse cathepsin D protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Cathepsin D is a ubiquitously expressed lysosomal aspartyl protease involved in the normal degradation of proteins (1). It is synthesized as an inactive 43 kDa preprocathepsin D that is cleaved and glycosylated to form a 46 kDa procathepsin D and then further cleaved to produce 28 kDa and 15 kDa subunits (heavy and light chains, respectively) (2). Cathepsin D may also be secreted into the cytosol during apoptosis and contribute to cleavage of substrates implicated in the apoptotic pathway (3). Numerous studies have suggested that cathepsin D plays a role in neuronal degradation and malignant transformation, particularly in breast cancer (4-9).
