Interpolated concentrations of native Cathepsin D in mouse serum and plasma samples.

The concentrations of Cathepsin D were measured in duplicate, interpolated from the Cathepsin D standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows : serum 25%, plasma (citrate) 25%, plasma (EDTA) 25%, and plasma (Heparin) 25%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Cathepsin D concentration was determined to be 366.2 ng/mL in serum, 300.8 ng/mL in plasma (citrate), 213.9 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA), and 446.9 ng/mL in plasma (Heparin).

Product details

Mouse Cathepsin D ELISA Kit (ab239420) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Cathepsin D protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse Cathepsin D with 775 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Supplementary information

Cathepsin D also known as CTSD is a protein with a mass of approximately 45 kDa. It functions as an aspartyl protease and is expressed in lysosomes across various tissues including the liver and kidneys. This enzyme acts by cleaving peptide bonds within proteins which is essential for protein degradation and turnover. Cathepsin D exists as precursor forms that become activated in the acidic environment of the lysosome. It plays a critical role in normal cellular processes by maintaining protein homeostasis.
Biological function summary

The enzymatic activity of Cathepsin D is important for cellular maintenance and apoptosis. This protease does not act within larger protein complexes but contributes to the degradation of extracellular and intracellular proteins. It mediates processes like antigen processing where it deconstructs proteins into peptides that are presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. ELISA tests can quantify its expression levels sometimes termed as CTSD activity in various biological samples offering insights into its role within cellular environments.

Pathways

Cathepsin D involvement includes the lysosomal degradation pathway and the apoptotic signaling pathway. In the lysosomal degradation pathway Cathepsin D breaks down proteins and peptides a process important for cellular recycling and energy release. It interacts with other lysosomal enzymes such as Cathepsin B in this pathway ensuring comprehensive breakdown of cellular waste. The apoptotic signaling pathway involves the regulation of programmed cell death where Cathepsin D can influence the activation of downstream proteins like Bcl-2 and Bax which control cell survival.

The overexpression of Cathepsin D links to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In breast cancer increased Cathepsin D expression correlates with tumor progression and metastasis influencing tumor behavior through interactions with other proteins involved in cell proliferation. Alzheimer's disease features the involvement of Cathepsin D in the breakdown of amyloid precursor protein which relates to amyloid beta plaque accumulation. The abnormal activity of Cathepsin D in these disorders makes it a potential target for therapeutic antibodies such as CTSD antibodies which aim to regulate its function.
