Western blot - Anti-proCathepsin D antibody [EPR3054] - BSA and Azide free (AB206472)

Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab134169 observed at 46 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

ab134169 was shown to recognize in wild-type MCF7 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in HepG2 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and HepG2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The membrane was blocked with 3% NF Milk. ab134169 and ab8245 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/2000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab134169).

Supplementary information

Procathepsin D also known as CTSD is a precursor form of the enzyme Cathepsin D. It has a molecular mass of approximately 52 kDa. Procathepsin D is an aspartic protease expressed mainly in lysosomes but also found in many tissues like liver spleen and the endometrium. Its precursor form undergoes post-translational modification to become active involving the removal of its propeptide segment.
Biological function summary

This protease plays significant roles in protein degradation and processing within lysosomes. Procathepsin D remains part of lysosomal enzyme complexes influencing lysosomal balance and turnover of proteins. It contributes to the regulation of cell growth apoptosis and protein activation. Also it impacts antigen presentation and immunity showing importance in cellular maintenance and function.

Pathways

Procathepsin D participates in the lysosomal degradation pathway impacting autophagy and proteostasis. It interfaces with kinases and caspases routing signaling and apoptosis pathways. Through the lysosomal protein pathway it relates to proteins like Cathepsin B and L which also deal with proteolysis. Procathepsin D's degradation function influences metabolic processes interconnected with the immune response and tissue remodeling.

Procathepsin D shows connections to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Elevated levels have been observed in breast cancer linking it with tumor progression where it may interact with proteins like cathepsin B. In Alzheimer's disease altered procathepsin D activity affects amyloid processing and neuroinflammation associating closely with proteins like amyloid precursor protein (APP) and other cathepsins involved in neurodegenerative processes.

Target data

Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Plays a role in APP processing following cleavage and activation by ADAM30 which leads to APP degradation (PubMed : 27333034). Involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease.
