  • Name: Anti-Cathepsin L [4C11]
  • Research fields: Biochemistry;Cancer;Cell biology;Cell signaling and signal transduction;Neurobiology
  • Clone: 4C11
  • Tool sub type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugation: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IF ; WB
  • Description: Cathepsin L is expressed in most cells but in a higher level in cancerous cells. Normal levels of cathepsin L is involved in the regulation of epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation in the skin. It is recognized that many cancer cells secrete cathepsin L to degrade the components of extracellular matrices and basement membranes. This promotes tumor invasion and metastasis. The pro-form of cathepsin L exists as a molecular size of 50kDa. The pro-form could be degraded and secreted out as two smaller forms of cathepsin L. These smaller forms are known as the mature forms. The pro-forms and mature forms are secreted out of the healthy cells. However, there is a significant increase in levels of pro-forms that are secreted out of the cancerous cells. Monoclonal antibodies generated against pro-form of cathepsin L would be useful for diagnostic purposes.
