FAQ
What is cathepsin B and its significance?
Cathepsin B is a cysteine protease that plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins. Elevated levels are often linked to various diseases, particularly in cancer metastasis and neurodegenerative disorders.
How does the SensoLyte® 520 Assay Kit work?
This kit employs a fluorimetric detection system using a labeled peptide substrate that emits a signal when cleaved by active cathepsin B, allowing for precise measurement of enzyme activity.
Can I use this assay for other cathepsins?
This assay is specifically designed for cathepsin B. For assays targeting other proteases, consider exploring our other assay kitssuch as the SensoLyte® Anti-Mouse MOG ELISA Kit or the SensoLyte® Anti-PLP ELISA Kit.
