Based on the dye cresyl violet and the cathepsin K LeuArg peptide recognition sequence, this kit allows the detection of cathepsin K activity in living cells by fluorescence microscopy.
Once cells are grown, staining is completed in just a few minutes
Elevated cathepsin enzyme activity often indicates the presence of a pathological condition including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune disease, and osteoporosis.
