Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-Cathepsin L/MEP/Ctsl Antibody Picoband® catalog # A01589-3.
Biological background
Biological context: NCF2, NCF1, and a membrane bound cytochrome b558 are required for activation of the latent NADPH oxidase (necessary for superoxide production).
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cytoplasm, cytosol., tissue context: Detected in peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils (at protein level)..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Ctsl levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Ctsl in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Ctsl-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that plays a major role in intracellular protein catabolism. Its substrates include collagen and elastin, as well as alpha-1 protease inhibitor, a major controlling element of neutrophil elastase activity. The encoded protein has been implicated in several pathologic processes, including myofibril necrosis in myopathies and in myocardial ischemia, and in the renal tubular response to proteinuria. This protein, which is a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a dimer composed of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. Additionally, this protein cleaves the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is necessary for entry of the virus into the cell.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cytoplasm, cytosol.
- Tissue details: Detected in peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils (at protein level).
