Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human Liver stained with Cathepsin D Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (CTSD/3275).
SDS-PAGE Analysis of Purified Cathepsin D Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (CTSD/3275). Confirmation of Integrity and Purity of Antibody
Analysis of Protein Array containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins using Cathepsin D Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (CTSD/3275) Z- and S- Score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that a monoclonal antibody (Monoclonal Antibody) (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary antibody) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProtTM array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If targets on HuProtTM are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-score. S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of a Monoclonal Antibody to its intended target. A Monoclonal Antibody is considered to specific to its intended target, if the Monoclonal Antibody has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if a Monoclonal Antibody binds to protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to protein Y with a Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the binding of that Monoclonal Antibody to protein X is equal to 29.
Western Blot Analysis of human liver tissue and MCF-7 cell lysates using Cathepsin D Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (CTSD/3275).
Cathepsin D is a ubiquitously expressed lysosomal aspartyl protease involved in the normal degradation of proteins. It is synthesized as an inactive 52kDa preprocathepsin D that is cleaved and glycosylated to form a 48kDa procathepsin D and then further cleaved to produce 34kDa and 14kDa subunits (heavy and light chains, respectively). Cathepsin D exhibits pepsin-like activity and plays a role in protein turnover and in the proteolytic activation of hormones and growth factors. Mutations in this gene play a causal role in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-10 and may be involved in the pathogenesis of several other diseases, including breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer's disease.
