Elevated cathepsin enzyme activity often indicates the presence of a pathological condition including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune disease, and osteoporosis. 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. Hoechst 33342 stain and Acridine Orange are also included to allow visualization of nuclei and lysosomes.
