Background

The cathepsin family of proteolytic enzymes contains several diverse classes of proteases. The cysteine protease class comprises cathepsins B, L, H, K, S and O. The aspartyl protease class is composed of cathepsins D and E. cathepsin G is in the serine protease class. Most cathepsins are lysosomal and each is involved in cellular metabolism, participating in various events such as peptide biosynthesis and protein degradation. cathepsin B is expressed in luminal epithelial cells, indicating that cathepsin B is a marker for secretory cell death.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. ELISA Kits are guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.

FAQs for Cathepsin B ELISA Kit (KA0552). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQs).

1. What's the difference between the Cathepsin B DuoSet ELISA (DY2176) and the other Cathepsin B ELISA (KA0552)? The DuoSet ELISA is much cheaper per plate.
   • The duoset contains just the antibodies.
2. wondering what the difference is between your quantikine and duo set elisas?
   • Usually the duosets do not have the entire kit such as plates and buffers, whereas the other kits are complete.
