Anti-CTSH, NT (Cathepsin H, Cathepsin H Mini Chain, Cathepsin H Heavy Chain, Cathepsin H Light Chain

The protein is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase important in the overall degradation of lysosomal proteins. It is composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. The protein, which belongs to the peptidase C1 protein family, can act both as an aminopeptidase and as an endopeptidase. Increased expression of its gene has been correlated with malignant progression of prostate tumors. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
