Scientific Data Images for Mouse Cathepsin X/Z/P Antibody

Cathepsin X/Z/P antibody in Mouse Splenocytes by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Cathepsin X/Z/P in Mouse Splenocytes.

Cathepsin X/Z/P was detected in immersion fixed mouse splenocytes using Goat Anti-Mouse Cathepsin X/Z/P Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1033) at 15 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Background: Cathepsin X/Z/P

Cathepsin X (also known as Cathepsin Z and P) is a relatively new cysteine protease of the papain family (1‑5). Compared to other members of the papain family, Cathepsin X has a short proregion and unique insertions. The cysteine residue in the proregion forms a covalent and reversible bond with the active site cysteine residue (6). Acting as a carboxypeptidase, Cathepsin X displays a unique specificity (7‑10). It is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues and conserved in other species such as mouse, nematode and echiuran. The nematode enzyme is apparently involved in molting of third stage larvae (11).
