Product name:Human Cathepsin K ELISA Kit
Description:
Cathepsin K expression is highest in bone, cartilage, and skeletal muscle. Cathepson K is predominantly expressed in osteoclasts. However, the encoded protein is also expressed in a significant fraction of human breast cancers, where it could contribute to tumor invasiveness. Mutations in the gene are the cause of pycnodysostosis, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature.
