Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A Antibody (104) [NBP2-89526] - Staining of Human CTSA in Hela cells. Cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilzed with 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS, blocked with 10% serum, and incubated with NBP2-89526 antibody (1:60) at 4c overnight. Then cells were stained with the Alexa Fluor(R) 488-conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Positive staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Background: Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A

Lysosomal protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) is a lysosomal serine carboxypeptidase that forms an intralysosomal enzyme-complex with b-galactosidase and neuraminidase (NEU1). PPCA is synthesized as a 54-kDa precursor/zymogen, and proteolytically cleaved in the lysosome into a catalytically active 32- and 20-kDa two-chain enzyme. The enzyme has cathepsin A activity at acidic pH but maintains also a deamidase/esterase activity at neutral pH. Furthermore, the human enzyme, purified from platelets and lymphocytes, has been shown to function on the inactivation of selected neuropeptides, like substance P, oxytocin, and endothelin I. The autosomal recessive genetic deficiency of PPCA causes galactosialidosis, a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, resulting in the secondary deficiencies of b-galactosidase and NEU1.
