This data was developed using ab125067, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

ab125067 was shown to react with CTSB in wild-type HAP1 cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in a CTSB knockout cell line. Wild-type HAP1 and CTSB knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 1 hr before incubation with ab125067 overnight at 4 °C at a 1/1000 dilution. Blots were incubated with secondary antibodies at 0.2 µg/mL before imaging.

This data was provided by YCharOS Inc., an open science company with the mission of characterizing commercially available antibody reagents for all human proteins. Abcam and YCharOS are working together to help address the reproducibility crisis by enabling the life science community to better evaluate commercially available antibodies.

Supplementary information

Cathepsin B also known as CTSB or cathepsin beta is a lysosomal cysteine protease belonging to the papain family. This enzyme possesses a molecular weight of approximately 25 to 30 kDa. You can find cathepsin B expressed in various tissues with high levels observed in the liver kidney and spleen. It plays a mechanical role in protein degradation within lysosomes operating optimally in acidic environments. The enzyme has active and inactive forms depending on structural modifications and environmental conditions.
Biological function summary

Cathepsin B participates as a proteolytic enzyme involved in protein turnover and processing. It does not function in isolation but often associates with various other proteases forming complexes essential for efficient substrate breakdown. Cathepsin B assists in the activation of other enzymes by cleaving propeptides therefore facilitating the initiation of cascade reactions. This role is critical in maintaining cellular homeostasis and modulating physiological processes including cell migration and immune response modulation.

Pathways

Cathepsin B significantly contributes to the lysosomal protein degradation pathway and the autophagy-lysosome pathway. It interacts with proteins such as B protein which are important for cellular recycling and energy homeostasis. Its activity supports the MHC class II antigen processing pathway playing an essential part in immune system functionality. Cathepsin B also exhibits interactions with Ctsb protein inhibitors which regulate its proteolytic activity within these pathways.

Cathepsin B has strong associations with cancer progression and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Its overexpression and dysregulation are linked to tumor metastasis where it degrades extracellular matrix components promoting invasion. Ctsb protein interactions with corey mazo proteins influence tumor microenvironment and immune evasion. In Alzheimer's disease cathepsin B can influence amyloid beta peptide processing connected to neurodegenerative pathology progression. These roles highlight the potential for cathepsin B as a therapeutic target in addressing these conditions.
