Product Specifications

Immunogen

Mouse myeloma cell line NS0-derived recombinant mouse Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A
Ala24-Tyr474 (predicted)
Accession # P16675

Specificity

Detects mouse Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, no cross-reactivity with recombinant human Cathepsin A or recombinant mouse (rm) DPPIV/CD26 is observed. In Western blots, it recognizes the single chain (55 kDa) form of rmCathepsin A, which can be processed into heavy (32 kDa) and light (20 kDa) chains. It recognizes the heavy chain, but not the light chain.

Background: Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A

Lysosomal protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) is a lysosomal serine carboxypeptidase that forms an intralysosomal enzyme-complex with b-galactosidase and neuraminidase (NEU1). PPCA is synthesized as a 54-kDa precursor/zymogen, and proteolytically cleaved in the lysosome into a catalytically active 32- and 20-kDa two-chain enzyme. The enzyme has cathepsin A activity at acidic pH but maintains also a deamidase/esterase activity at neutral pH. Furthermore, the human enzyme, purified from platelets and lymphocytes, has been shown to function on the inactivation of selected neuropeptides, like substance P, oxytocin, and endothelin I. The autosomal recessive genetic deficiency of PPCA causes galactosialidosis, a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, resulting in the secondary deficiencies of b-galactosidase and NEU1.
