  • Product overview

    ab119509 Cathepsin L Human ELISA Kit (with color giving dyes) is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human Cathepsin L. ab119509 is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

    Cathepsin L is closely related to the recently described cathepsin V (L2) and the sequence indentity of almost 80% between them requires antibodies for the detection of cathepsin L which do not crossreact with cathepsin V. This requirement can only be met by epitope specific monoclonal antibodies as are used in ab119509.

    Cathepsin L is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase consisting of a heavy chain of about 25 kDa and a light chain of about 5 kDa derived proteolytically from the same precursor. Cathepsin L has been shown to be produced by many different cell types. Since cathepsin L is capable of degrading protein constituents of the extracellular matrix it is assumed to play a crucial role in tumor progression and metastasis and a number of other disorders where the destruction of the extracellular matrix is the major cause of disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, neurodegeneration

    In order to help avoid any mistakes in pipetting, our kit provides color giving dyes that help monitor the addition of a solution to the reaction. Each dye gives a distinctive color for each step of the ELISA procedure.
