Specificity
Detects mouse Cathepsin C/DPPI in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 15% cross‑reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Cathepsin C is observed and less than 1% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse (rm) Cathepsin A, rmCathepsin B, rmCathepsin D, rmCathepsin H, and rmCathepsin X/Z/P is observed.

Background: Cathepsin C/DPPI
Cathepsin C is a cysteine protease of the papain family (1). Cathepsin C sequentially removes dipeptides from the free N-termini of proteins and peptides. It has broad specificity except that it does not cleave a basic amino acid (Arg or Lys) in the N-terminal position or Pro on either side of the scissle bond. It requires halide ions for activity. The pro form contains a pro peptide and a catalytic region, which can be further processed into heavy/ alpha and light/ beta chains that are linked by a disulfide bond. It is broadly distributed. Cathepsin C plays a role in the lysosomal degradation. It also functions as a key enzyme in the activation of granule serine proteases in cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells (granzymes A and B), mast cells (tryptase and chymase), and neutrophils (Cathepsin G and elastase) by removing their N-terminal activation dipeptides (2).
