Quick Overview for Cathepsin K antibody (AA 163-274) (ABIN6939219)

Target: Cathepsin K (CTSK)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Cathepsin K antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Clone: CTSK-2791

Product Details anti-Cathepsin K Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 163-274

Purpose: Cathepsin K (Marker of Tumor Invasiveness) Antibody

Specificity: The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase involved in bone remodeling and resorption. This protein, which is a member of the peptidase C1 protein family, is predominantly expressed in osteoclasts. However, the encoded protein is also expressed in a significant fraction of human breast cancers, where it could contribute to tumor invasiveness. Mutations in this gene are the cause of pycnodysostosis, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature.

Purification: 200ug/ml of Ab Purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G.

Immunogen: Recombinant fragment of human Cathepsin K protein (around aa 163-274) (exact sequence is proprietary)

Isotype: IgG1, kappa
