biovision K146-100 Cell and tissue lysates, serum ? Detection method- Absorbance (405 nm) ? Species reactivity- Mammalian ? Kit size- 100 assays ? Applications- Detects alternative proteolytic enzymes such as the lysosomal cathepsin G proteases that can initiate or propagate proapoptotic signals. Cathepsin-G Activity Assay Kit: Rapid & Convenient Colorimetric Assay to Measure Cathepsin-G Activity within 1-2 hrs. 100 Assays. 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. In BioVision’s Cathepasin G Activity assay Kit, Cathepsin G will cleave the substrate and release the dye group, pNA (4-Nitroaniline), which can be detect 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 suitable for the activity of Cathepsin G.
