Demonstration of cathepsin B in the rat kidney using fluorescence histochemistry. 1985

P Kugler

The procedure of mounting freeze-dried sections with celloidin was adapted for the fluorescent-histochemical demonstration of cathepsin B in the rat kidney. A good localization of reaction products was shown in freeze-dried, 5-micron sections which had been mounted free floating with 1.5% celloidin solution on albuminized slides. Using this procedure, the reaction products were localized in the lysosomes, particularly those of the convoluted proximal tubule.

D002401 Cathepsin B A lysosomal cysteine proteinase with a specificity similar to that of PAPAIN. The enzyme is present in a variety of tissues and is important in many physiological and pathological processes. In pathology, cathepsin B has been found to be involved in DEMYELINATION; EMPHYSEMA; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, and NEOPLASM INVASIVENESS.

D002403 Cathepsins A group of lysosomal proteinases or endopeptidases found in aqueous extracts of a variety of animal tissues. They function optimally within an acidic pH range. The cathepsins occur as a variety of enzyme subtypes including SERINE PROTEASES; ASPARTIC PROTEINASES; and CYSTEINE PROTEASES. Cathepsin
