SensoLyte® 390 Cathepsin D Assay Kit

FRET Fluorometric
Catalog No. ABIN1882438

Quick Overview for SensoLyte® 390 Cathepsin D Assay Kit (ABIN1882438)

Target

See all Cathepsin D (CTSD) Kits
Cathepsin D (CTSD)

Detection Method

Fluorometric

Application

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Microscopy (FRET)
  • Brand

    SensoLyte®

    Characteristics

    The SensoLyte® 390 Cathepsin D Activity Assay Kit uses a Mca/Dnp FRET peptide for measurement of enzyme activity. In the FRET peptide, the fluorescence of Mca is quenched by Dnp. Upon cleavage into two separate fragments by Cathepsin D, the fluorescence of Mca is recovered, and can be monitored at excitation/emission = 330 nm/390 nm.

    Background

    Cathepsins are a class of globular lysosomal proteases, playing a vital role in mammalian cellular turnover. They degrade polypeptides and are distinguished by their substrate specificities. Cathepsin D is the lysosomal aspartic proteinase, active in intracellular protein breakdown. It is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and Alzheimer disease.
