Cathepsin K Antibodies
AND CTSK ELISA kits, Cathepsin K Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Cathepsin K, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Cathepsin K in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Cathepsin K antibodies...
Designing a Western blot for Cathepsin K? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

CTSK Overview
Facts about Cathepsin K.
Cathepsin K (CTSK)
Closely involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and might participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH.
May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation. .
