About CTSB

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

CTSB (cathepsin B) is a lysosomal cysteine protease with endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity that contributes to intracellular protein turnover and proteolytic processing.

Experimental context

Research context

CTSB is studied in lysosomal proteolysis, protein turnover, extracellular-matrix and inflammatory contexts, and disease models involving altered cathepsin activity.
