The following Cathepsin D ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of cathepsin D in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CTSD gene. This protein has been described to function in the regulation of apoptosis and proteolysis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 412 residues, a mass of 44.6 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase A1 protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the lysosomes. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in the aorta extracellular space. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated and cleaved. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Ceroid lipofuscinosis. This protein may also be known as CPSD, HEL-S-130P, ceroid-lipofuscinosis, neuronal 10, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein Li 130P, lysosomal aspartyl peptidase, and CLN10.
There are Cathepsin D ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 2.74 pg/mL and as high as 270 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
