Immunogen

Mouse myeloma cell line NS0-derived recombinant human Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A
Ala29-Tyr480
Accession # P10619

Specificity

Detects both pro and active forms of human and mouse Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In Western blots, it recognizes all forms of recombinant human Cathepsin A: single chain (55 kDa), heavy chain (32 kDa), and light chain (20 kDa). Also in Western blots, less than 1% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Cathepsin B, rhCathepsin C, rhCathepsin D, rhCathepsin L, rhCathepsin L2/V, rhCathepsin O, rhCathepsin S and rhCathepsin X/Z/P is observed.

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.
