Cathepsin E polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
CTSE encodes a member of the A1 family of peptidases. Alternative splicing of CTSE results in multiple transcript variants. At least one of these variants encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. This enzyme (cathepsin E), an aspartic endopeptidase, may be involved in antigen processing and the maturation of secretory proteins. Elevated expression of CTSE has been observed in neurodegeneration.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AMPK alpha around the phosphorylation site of Thr172. AA range:140-189

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Formulation: Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.

Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage:
-20°C for 1 year
