IVISense Pan Cathepsin 750 Fluorescent Probe (ProSense)

Proteases perform a fundamental role in protein regulation. Altered activity of lysosomal cathepsins, a class of protease, can indicate many disease-related processes, such as those involved in cancer, inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular and many others. The ability to detect and quantify normal as well as altered protease cathepsin activity in vivo allows the progress and severity of these disease states to be tracked and interrogated over time.

IVISense Pan Cathepsin 750 is in our family of “Smart” cathepsin probes, which become fluorescent only after enzymatic cleavage, keeping background down and allowing detection of activated protease. It also offers a secondary wavelength for IVISense Pan Cathepsin, to allow greater flexibility for multiplexing with probes of other excitation/emission wavelengths. 24h imaging at 750 nm.
