Specifications
Target Information
Bovine Lysosomal Protective Protein (CTSA) is a key component of lysosomal cathepsins, specifically cathepsin A. It functions as a protective protein, stabilizing and activating other lysosomal proteases such as cathepsins B, H, and L. CTSA is essential for the proper folding and transport of these enzymes to the lysosome, where they play crucial roles in protein degradation and turnover. In bovine systems, CTSA deficiency can lead to severe lysosomal storage diseases due to the accumulation of undegraded proteins.
