Achieve precise and reproducible staining of Cathepsin D with this specialized IHC kit, featuring an optimized formulation for exceptional sensitivity and specificity, allowing for accurate target detection.
Description
CTSD (Cathepsin D), also known as CPSD, belongs to the peptidase A1 family. It is widely expressed and plays a role in proteolytic degradation, cell invasion, and apoptosis. Human CTSD is synthesized as a precursor and converted into an active intermediate in endosomes, eventually maturing into its active form. This lysosomal acid protease is found in neutrophils and monocytes and is implicated in diseases such as breast cancer and potentially Alzheimer's disease.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
