Scientific Data Images for Human Cathepsin L Antibody

Detection of Recombinant Human Cathepsin L antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Recombinant Human Cathepsin L by Western Blot.

Western blot shows 10 ng of Recombinant Human Cathepsin L (952-CY), Recombinant Mouse Cathepsin L (1515-CY), Recombinant Human Cathepsin V (1080-CY), Recombinant Human Cathepsin K, Recombinant Human Cathepsin S (1183-CY), Recombinant Human Cathepsin H (7516-CY), and Recombinant Human Cathepsin F. PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Cathepsin L Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF952) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF109). A specific band was detected for Cathepsin L at approximately 35 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 3.
Cathepsin L antibody in Human Kidney by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Cathepsin L in Human Kidney.

Cathepsin L was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human kidney using Goat Anti-Human Cathepsin L Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF952) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to convoluted tubules.

Detection of Human Cathepsin L by Western Blot

Cathepsins are reduced in GNPTAB- knockout cells, but restored upon GNPTAB reconstitution. a Immunoblotting of lysates from parental, knockout and reconstituted cells for CatB and CatL. The migration of a 30 kDa molecular mass marker is shown to the right. b CatB activity in lysates from parental HAP1, or knockout GNPTAB- or NPC1-cells. Cells were treated with cathepsin B inhibitor (Bi), cathepsin L inhibitor (Li), at 10 or 1 µM, or DMSO vehicle control for 1 h at 37 °C, before lysis and incubation with fluorescent CatB peptide substrate. After 1 h incubation at room temperature, fluorescence was measured. Data represent the mean ± s.d. of three technical replicates. A representative of three independent experiments is shown. c CatB activity in lysates from reconstituted cells. Lysates from transduced HAP1 or GNPTAB− cells were generated and tested for CatB activity, as for panel b. Data represent the mean ± s.d. of three technical replicates. A representative of two independent experiments is shown. For both panels b and c, statistical analysis was performed with a two-tailed Student’s t-test with significance shown as **** P ≤ 0.0001.

Background: Cathepsin L

Cathepsin L is a lysosomal cysteine protease expressed in most eukaryotic cells. Cathepsin L is known to hydrolyze a number of proteins, including the proform of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, which is activated by Cathepsin L cleavage (1). Cathepsin L has also been shown to proteolytically inactivate alpha1-antitrypsin and secretory leucoprotease inhibitor, two major protease inhibitors of the respiratory tract (2). These observations, combined with the demonstration of increased Cathepsin L activity in the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs of emphysema patients, have led to the suggestion that the enzyme may be involved in the progression of this disease. Cathepsin L has also been identified as a major excreted protein of transformed fibroblasts, indicating the enzyme could be involved in malignant tumor growth (3). Human Cathepsin L activity is greatest under mildly acidic conditions, from pH 4.5‑6.5. The stability of the enzyme decreases at higher pH values.
