cathepsin S Antibody (G-5): sc-74429

cathepsin S Antibody (G-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects cathepsin S in mouse, rat, and human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cathepsin S is a crucial cysteine protease that plays a significant role in the immune response by facilitating the processing of antigens and the degradation of extracellular matrix components, which is vital for tissue remodeling and repair. This enzyme is predominantly located in lysosomes, where cathepsin S contributes to the degradation of proteins and peptides, thus maintaining cellular homeostasis. Proper functioning of cathepsin S is essential, as dysregulation can lead to various pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases and cancer. Additionally, cathepsin S interacts with specific proteins such as cathepsin L and cystatin C, which are involved in the regulation of proteolytic activity, further underscoring cathepsin S importance in cellular processes. With versatile applications and critical role in cellular metabolism, anti-cathepsin S antibody (G-5) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying proteolytic enzymes and their implications in health and disease.

The preferred cathepsin S antibody is cathepsin S Antibody (E-3): sc-271619.
