Cathepsin B Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit | 79590

Cathepsin B Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit | 79590 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition

Category: Protease/Assay Kit

Application: Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.

Background: Cathepsin B is a cysteine protease that primarily functions as an endopeptidase within endolysosomal compartments in normal cells. High levels of cathepsin B are found in a wide variety of human cancers and in experimental models, such as transgenic models of murine pancreatic and mammary carcinomas, causal roles for this protein have been demonstrated in initiation, growth/tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis.

Description: The Cathepsin B Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed to measure the protease activity of Cathepsin B for screening and profiling applications. The Cathepsin B assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with purified Cathepsin B, its fluorogenic substrate, and Cathepsin buffer for 100 enzyme reactions. In addition, the kit includes the cathepsin inhibitor E64 for use as a control inhibitor.
