Cathepsin A (CTSA) is an enzyme that is classified both as a cathepsin and a carboxypeptidase. This gene encodes a glycoprotein that associates with lysosomal enzymes beta-galactosidase and neuraminidase to form a complex of high-molecular-weight multimers. The formation of this complex provides a protective role for stability and activity. It is protective for β-galactosidase and neuraminidase. Besides, Neuraminidase (NEU) has been identified as an interactor of CTSA, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant rat CTSA and recombinant rat NEU. Briefly, CTSA were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 µl were then transferred to NEU-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-CTSA pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37C. Finally, add 50 µl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of CTSA and NEU was in a dose dependent manner.
For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4C. For long-term storage, store at -20C or below. After reconstitution, keep as concentrated solution. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
