mCTSD

Alternative Names: CD, CatD, Cathepsin D, Ctsd

Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease that plays a role in cancer cell migration and invasion by degrading the basement membrane, extracellular matrix, and connective tissue. It is synthesized as a 54kDa precursor, which undergoes proteolytic processing to form a 48kDa single chain intermediate, further maturing into stable 34kDa and 14kDa two chain forms. Its mitogenic and proteolytic activities make it a potential prognostic marker in various tumor types. Cathepsin D is expressed in both epithelial cells and macrophages, and its activity is regulated by estrogen.

Storage Instruction

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
