cathepsin G Substrates

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of cathepsin G Substrates for use in various applications. Cathepsin G substrates are crucial tools in the study of cathepsin G, a serine protease predominantly found in neutrophils and other immune cells. This enzyme plays a significant role in the body's immune response by participating in the degradation of proteins within phagosomes, as well as in the processing of cytokines and other signaling molecules. Cathepsin G is also involved in antimicrobial activity, contributing to the destruction of pathogens ingested by neutrophils. Researchers use cathepsin G substrates to monitor the enzyme's activity in various experimental settings, which is vital for understanding how this protease contributes to both innate immunity and inflammatory processes. These substrates are employed in studies aimed at explaining the molecular mechanisms through which cathepsin G regulates immune functions, as well as in high-throughput screening assays designed to identify potential inhibitors or modulators of its activity. By providing a means to specifically track cathepsin G activity, these substrates enable scientists to explore its role in immune-related conditions, such as chronic inflammation and autoimmune disorders. The ability to measure cathepsin G activity with precision is essential for advancing research in immunology, cell biology, and pathology, offering insights into how proteolytic enzymes like cathepsin G contribute to both normal immune function and disease progression.
