Human Cathepsin Z (CTSZ) ELISA Kit,Abbkine,KTE62416

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination. • Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Scientific Background

Cathepsin Z or cathepsin X is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase and member of the peptidase C1 family. It exhibits both carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. The encoded protein has also been known as cathepsin X and cathepsin P. This gene is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and primary tumors and, like other members of this family, may be involved in tumorigenesis. The predicted 303-amino acid protein has the domain structure characteristic of cysteine proteinases, including a signal sequence, a prodomain, and a catalytic domain responsible for proteolytic activity. However, it also contains 3 unique peptide insertions. Cathepsin Z shares protein sequence identity with other human cysteine proteinases of the papain family, including 34% with cathepsin C and 26% with cathepsin B.
