Storage	Supplied in 10 mm sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mm NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Specificity/Sensitivity	Cathepsin D Antibody detects endogenous levels of preprocathepsin D, procathepsin D and the heavy chain subunit of mature cathepsin D.
Species Reactivity	Human, Monkey
Source/Purification	Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues with the heavy chain subunit of human Cathepsin D. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background	Cathepsin D is a ubiquitously expressed lysosomal aspartyl protease involved in the normal degradation of proteins (1). It is synthesized as an inactive 43 kDa preprocathepsin D that is cleaved and glycosylated to form a 46 kDa procathepsin D and then further cleaved to produce 28 kDa and 15 kDa subunits (heavy and light chains, respectively) (2). Cathepsin D may also be secreted into the cytosol during apoptosis and contribute to cleavage of substrates implicated in the apoptotic pathway (3). Numerous studies have suggested that cathepsin D plays a role in neuronal degradation and malignant transformation, particularly in breast cancer (4-9).
