Product overview
Cathepsin G Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab126780) is an assay where Cathepsin G will cleave the substrate and release the dye group, p-NA (4-Nitroaniline), which can be detected at 405 nm. In presence of the Cathepsin G specific inhibitor, the cleavage will be stopped. The kit provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test for the activity of Cathepsin G.

Notes
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K146 Cathepsin G Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit. K146-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab126780.
Cathepsin G is an enzymatic protein belonging to the peptidase or protease families. The protein is found in azurophil granules of neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The encoded protease has a specificity similar to that of chymotrypsin C, and may participate in the killing and digestion of engulfed pathogens, and in connective tissue remodeling at sites of inflammation.
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers’ uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses. -
