    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Cathepsin K (E7U5N) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total cathepsin K protein. Non-specific focal cytoplasmic staining was observed in mouse testis by immunohistochemistry.

    Species Reactivity:

    Mouse

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly230 of mouse cathepsin K protein.

    Background

    Cathepsin K (CTSK) is a cysteine proteinase belonging to the cathepsin family, which all share a common papain-like structural fold and a conserved active site Cys-Asn-His triad of residues (1-3). Cathepsin K, initially synthesized as an inactive procathepsin K, is further processed into a mature enzyme, whose most studied function is to mediate bone resorption (1-6). Originally discovered in osteoclasts, its expression has also been associated with various cancers, such as prostate, breast, bone, lung, and renal carcinoma (6). Many pharmaceutical companies are working on the development of selective inhibitors for cathepsin K for anti-osteoporosis drugs (5).
