Anti-Cleaved-Cathepsin A (R326) Antibody

Manufactured and distributed through the Antibodies.com catalogue, this affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal reagent is raised against the cleaved form of Cathepsin A and specifically recognises the fragment generated by cleavage adjacent to arginine 326 (R326). It is supplied as a 50 µL liquid aliquot at 1 mg/mL in PBS containing 50% glycerol and 0.1% sodium azide, and the unconjugated antibody is validated for Western blot (WB) applications on human, mouse and rat samples. The host species is rabbit, the clonality is polyclonal (IgG isotype), and the target corresponds to the CTSA gene product (also known as PPCA / PPGB / lysosomal protective protein). For best stability, store refrigerated short-term at 4 °C and for long-term storage at –20 °C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Each vial is intended for research use only and is suitable for detecting endogenous levels of the activated ~32 kDa Cathepsin A fragment that arises following cleavage at R326, making it a useful tool for studies of lysosomal proteolysis and related cell-death pathways.
