Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of CTSS in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that may participate in the degradation of antigenic proteins to peptides for presentation on MHC class II molecules. The encoded protein can function as an elastase over a broad pH range in alveolar macrophages. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
