Human Pro-Cathepsin B Quantikine ELISA Kit Summary
Background
The Quantikine Human Pro-Cathepsin B Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure the pro-form of cathepsin B in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human Pro-Cathepsin B and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. Natural human Pro-Cathepsin B showed dose-response curves that were paralle...l to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards, indicating that this kit can be used to determine relative levels of natural human Pro-Cathepsin B.
Store the unopened product at 2 - 8 °C. Do not use past expiration date.

Background
Cathepsin B is the first described member of the family of lysosomal cysteine proteases. Cathepsin B possesses both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activities, in the latter case acting as a peptidyl-dipeptidase. It is known to process a number of proteins, including pro and active caspases, prorenin and SLPI. Cathepsin B is synthesized as a preproenzyme. Following removal of the signal peptide, the inactive proenzyme undergoes further modifications including removal of the pro region to result in the active enzyme.

Caspase 11: A novel non-canonical inflammasomes Cell death via apoptosis is a key cellular function triggered by the cell death receptor family and their ligands. This regulated process then transmits downstream signals through adaptor molecules ending with the caspase cysteine proteases. Caspas... Read full blog post.
