It contains a uniquely short pro-domain containing an RGD integrin binding sequence, allowing functionality in cell adhesion, signaling, and extracellular matrix remodeling (3,4). Cathepsin Z is expressed in immune cells, specifically macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells, where it participates in several immune cell functions (5). It may play a role in tumorigenesis and has been implicated in several cancer types, including hepatocellular carcinoma, glioblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer (6-10). Cathepsin Z is also expressed and secreted by activated microglia in the brain and may play a role in neuroinflammation (11,12).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\ncarboxypeptidase LB; cathepsin B2; cathepsin IV; Cathepsin P; Cathepsin X; cathepsin Y; Cathepsin Z; cathepsin Z1; CATZ; CTSX; CTSZ; cysteine-type carboxypeptidase; FLJ17088; lysosomal carboxypeptidase B; preprocathepsin P\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 33\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799980396713,"sku":"88297T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-88297t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
