Cathepsin G substrate Substrate (CAS 70967-97-4)

Cathepsin G substrate, known for its specificity towards the enzyme Cathepsin G, is extensively utilized in biochemical research to explain protease activity and its regulation. This chemical serves as a model substrate to study the enzymatic kinetics of Cathepsin G, a serine protease that plays a critical role in degrading protein substrates in the lysosome, particularly during cellular processes such as phagocytosis. Researchers employ Cathepsin G substrate to investigate the impact of protease activity on various biological systems, including immune response modulation and inflammation regulation. The substrate′s reaction with Cathepsin G can be quantitatively measured, providing insights into the enzyme′s specificity and activity under different experimental conditions. This has led to a deeper understanding of the proteolytic pathways involved in immune cell signaling and pathogen clearance. Furthermore, the chemical is utilized in the development of protease inhibitors as a tool for dissecting protease-mediated signaling pathways, facilitating studies on how these pathways influence cellular behaviors in complex biological matrices. Thus, Cathepsin G substrate is pivotal in research aimed at unraveling the mechanistic aspects of serine proteases in cellular physiology and pathology.
