Background of CTSK

Cathepsin K, abbreviated CTSK, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CTSK gene. It is mapped to 1q21. The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine protease involved in bone remodeling and resorption. And this protein, which is a member of the peptidase C1 protein family, is expressed predominantly in osteoclasts. Additionally, the enzyme's ability to catabolize elastin, collagen, and gelatin allow it to break down bone and cartilage. This catabolic activity is also partially responsible for the loss of lung elasticity and recoil inemphysema. Cathepsin K inhibitors, such as odanacatib, show great potential in the treatment of osteoporosis. Cathepsin K is degraded by Cathepsin S, called Controlled Cathepsin Cannibalism.

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

3 Customer Q&As for Anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK Antibody Picoband®

Question

Can you help my question with product PB9856, anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?

Verified Customer

Asked: 2019-07-11

Answer

We do not recommend storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PB9856 anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question

Would anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody PB9856 work on dog IHC with bone?

N. Li

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-03-16

Answer

Our lab technicians have not tested anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody PB9856 on dog. You can run a BLAST between dog and the immunogen sequence of anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody PB9856 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated dog samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in dog bone in IHC, you can get your next antibody for free.

Question

We are currently using anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody PB9856 for human tissue, and we are well pleased with the IHC results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it true that the antibody can work on feline tissues as well?

C. Zhang

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-11-22

Answer

The anti-Cathepsin K/CTSK antibody (PB9856) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with feline tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in feline you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
