Cathepsin Detect  
Substrate-based assays to detect protease activity within whole living cells
Key Benefits:
  • Cell permeable, allowing for detection in living cells
  • Fluorogenic
  • No wash step necessary
Assay Principle:
Our Cathepsin Detect products are substrate-based assays designed to detect protease activity within whole living cells, using a fluorescence microscope. Cell Technology’s Cathepsin Detect assays are based on a cresyl violet leaving group that fluoresces once the enzyme specific peptides are cleaved. By conjugating the Cathepsin Detect to different peptide sequences, different enzymes can be detected.
Kit Contents:
  • Cathepsin Detect™ lyophilized reagent
  • Hoechst 33342 Stain
  • Acridine Orange
