Format: Fluorescence microscopy

Detection Method: Fluorescence

Assay Time: 4-6 h

Sample Type: Cells

Kit Contents: Labeled Cathepsin K Substrate, Hoechst 33342 Stain, Acridine Orange, and a user protocol.

Comments: Suitable for detection of cathepsin K in suspension or adherent cells. Detects cathepsin K using a cell-permeable cresyl violet-labeled cathepsin K substrate, which generates red fluorescence upon cleavage.
