Specifications
Target Information
Chicken Cathepsin B (CTSB) is a lysosomal cysteine protease that plays a crucial role in various physiological and pathological processes. As a member of the papain family, CTSB is involved in intracellular protein degradation, antigen processing, autophagy, and mitosis. In chickens, CTSB is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to stress. It can be released from lysosomes into the cytoplasm under stress conditions, leading to cell death and inflammation. Additionally, CTSB has been implicated in tumor progression, where it promotes angiogenesis and metastasis. Abnormal expression of CTSB is associated with several diseases, making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions.
