Clone Names | 80808013 |
Gene ID | 1509 |
---|---|
Other Names | Cathepsin D, Cathepsin D light chain, Cathepsin D heavy chain, CTSD, CPSD |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7368c was selected from the Center region of human CATD. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CTSD |
---|---|
Synonyms | CPSD |
Function | Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Plays a role in APP processing following cleavage and activation by ADAM30 which leads to APP degradation (PubMed:27333034). Involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease. |
Cellular Location | Lysosome. Melanosome. Secreted, extracellular space. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. In aortic samples, detected as an extracellular protein loosely bound to the matrix (PubMed:20551380) |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the aorta extracellular space (at protein level) (PubMed:20551380). Expressed in liver (at protein level) (PubMed:1426530). |

Background
CATD is a lysosomal aspartyl protease composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. This proteinase, which is a member of the peptidase C1 family, has a specificity similar to but narrower than that of pepsin A. Mutations in CATD gene are involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease.
