Nori Hamster Cathepsin B ELISA Kit

DataSheet   

This ELISA kit is for quantification of CTSB in hamster. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for CTSB has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any CTSB present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for CTSB is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CTSB bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:

Cathepsin B belongs to a family of lysosomal cysteine proteases and plays an important role in intracellular proteolysis. Cathepsin B is encoded by the CTSB gene[1][2] and is upregulated in certain cancers, in pre-malignant lesions, and in various other pathological conditions.[3-6] Cathepsin B is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum as a preproenzyme of 339 amino acids and mature cathepsin B is composed of a heavy chain of 25-26 kDa and a light chain of 5kDa, which are linked by a dimer of disulfide. Cathepsin B may enhance the activity of other proteases, including matrix metalloproteinaseurokinase, and cathepsin D,[7][8] and thus it has an essential role for the proteolysis of extracellular matrix components, intercellular communication disruption, and reduced protease inhibitor expression.[6] It is also involved in autophagy and catabolism, which is advantageous in tumor malignancy, and it is possibly involved in specific immune resistance.[9]  Cathepsin B has been proposed as a potentially effective biomarker for a variety of cancers.[7][10-13] Overexpression of cathepsin B is correlated with invasive and metastatic cancers.[14] Cathepsin B is produced in muscle tissue during metabolism. It is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and is associated with neurogenesis, specifically in the mouse dentate gyrus. A wide array of diseases result in elevated levels of cathepsin B, which causes numerous pathological processes including cell deathinflammation, and production of toxic peptides. cathepsin B causes a significant amount of the apoptotic cell death that occurs as a result of inducing epilepsy.[15]  cathepsin B is critical in causing the resulting neuromuscular dysfunction, memory loss, neuronal cell death and increased production of pro-necrotic and pro-apoptotic cell death peptides.  siRNA silencing or chemically inhibiting cathepsin B in primary rodent hippocampal cells or bovine chromaffin cells, which have a wild-type beta-secretase activity, reduces secretion of Abeta by the regulated secretory pathway.[16][17]
