Anti-CTSZ Antibody

Cathepsin Z (CTSZ) is a lysosomal cysteine carboxypeptidase involved in protein turnover, immune cell signaling, and tumor cell migration, and this rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com provides a reliable primary reagent for probing its expression by Western blot. Purified as an IgG immunoglobulin and supplied unconjugated in a 50 µL vial, the antibody recognizes multiple epitopes on the CTSZ precursor and mature protease, supporting broader detection in denatured lysate preparations from human, mouse, and rat samples. The polyclonal format is suited for researchers studying invadopodia formation, monocyte and macrophage differentiation, or cathepsin-mediated extracellular matrix remodeling using immunoblotting workflows on cell lines and tissue homogenates. The unconjugated IgG is compatible with secondary antibody labeling for chemiluminescent or chromogenic detection systems. Storage at refrigerated temperatures with aliquoting upon first use and limited freeze-thaw cycles helps preserve long-term activity for ongoing research projects.
