| Unit size: |
100 µg |
| Antigen: |
Procathepsin L isolated from human lung cancer cell line EPLC32M1. The epitope is within the sequence GYGFEST (265-271 in procathepsin L and 169-175 in the mature cathepsin L molecule). |
| Other Names: |
MEP; CTSL; CTSL1; |
| Accession: |
P07711 CATL1_HUMAN |
| Description: |
Cathepsin L is a cystein protease. It is important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes. Cathepsin L substrates include collagen, elastin and alpha 1 protease inhibitor. The protein is initially expressed as procathepsin L (42 kDa) and is proteolytically processed into 30 kDa and 21 kDa forms. This antibody recognises both precursor and mature forms. |
| Produced in: |
Mouse |
| Purity: |
IgG |
| Applications: |
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 2.0 µg/ml is recommended for WB. A concentration of 4.0 µg/ml is recommended to detect cathepsin L in formalin/acetone fixed tissues. |
| Specificity: |
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. |
| Cross-reactivity: |
Human; mouse; rat; |
| Blast it: |
If you wish to use this product in a species other than those specified here and want to determine the amino acid sequence homology between the immunogen and the corresponding protein in that species, simply copy the amino acid sequence for this immunogen and test it on the BLAST database that you can access through the link below. Please note that antibodies raised against synthetic peptides are quite often very specific for that peptide. What this means in practise is that a single amino acid difference may be enough to restrict the specificity to a particular molecule.
The BLAST database can also be used to compare any amino acid sequence between species and between protein. The full amino acid sequence of the target protein can be found by following the link in the Accession field. You can then search any amino acid sequence in the target protein using the BLAST database. When selecting a sequence to search, please choose carefully, as the sequence you choose may be a precursor rather than the mature protein for example. |
| Form: |
Lyophilized from 1.2% sodium acetate with 2mg BSA and 0.2mg NaN3 added as preservative. |
| Reconstitution: |
Reconstitute in 1 ml of PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an antibody concentration of 100 µg/ml. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. |
| Storage: |
At least 12 months after purchase at 2 - 4°C (lyophilized formulations). After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Expiry Date: |
12 months after purchase. |
