ANT-324
Synonyms
Cathepsin D, EC 3.4.23.5, CTSD, CPSD, CLN10, MGC2311.
Type
Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal.
Introduction
Cathepsin D is synthesized as a 54kDa precursor, which is proteolytically processed to an intermediate 48kDa single chain, which matures into more stable 34kDa and 14kDa two chain form. It is an estrogen-regulated lysosomal protease that has been suggested to facilitate cancer cell migration and invasion by digesting the basement membrane, extracellular matrix, and xonnective tissue. Because of its mitogenic and proteolytic activities, it has been implicated as a prognostic marker in many tumor types. Cathepsin D is expressed in epithelial cells as well as in macrophages.
Clone
P4G2AT.
Immunogen
Anti-human CTSD mAb is derived from hybridization of mouse SP2/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human CTSD amino acids 21-412 purified from E. coli.
Ig Subclass
Mouse IgG2b heavy chain and κ light chain.
Purification Method
CTSD antibody was purified from mouse ascitic fluids by protein-G affinity chromatography.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
1mg/ml containing PBS, pH-7.4, & 0.1% Sodium Azide.
Storage Procedures
For periods up to 1 month store at 4°C, for longer periods of time, store at -20°C.

Stability / Shelf Life
12 months at -20°C. 1 month at 4°C.
Applications
CTSD antibody has been tested by ELISA and Western blot analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis is 1:500 ~ 2,000. Recommended starting dilution is 1:1,000.
