products description :
For samples: Serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate . INTENDED USE This CTSS ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Rabbit CTSS. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications! . PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY CTSS ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-CTSS antibody and an CTSS-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CTSS-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the CTSS concentration since CTSS from samples and CTSS-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CTSS antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CTSS from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CTSS-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CTSS concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that may participate in the degradation of antigenic proteins to peptides for presentation on MHC class II molecules. The encoded protein can function as an elastase over a broad pH range in alveolar macrophages. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

uniprot summary :
CTSS: Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules. The bond- specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L and cathepsin N. Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: EC 3.4.22.27; Protease. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q21. Cellular Component: lysosomal lumen; extracellular space; membrane; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; lysosome; extracellular region. Molecular Function: collagen binding; proteoglycan binding; fibronectin binding; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; laminin binding. Biological Process: extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; adaptive immune response; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I, TAP-independent; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II; proteolysis; extracellular matrix disassembly; collagen catabolic process; antigen processing and presentation; antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class I; proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process; toll-like receptor signaling pathway; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I; innate immune response; immune response; positive regulation of inflammatory response
