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.

Revvity’s IVISense^™ Pan Cathepsin fluorescent probes (ProSense^®) are versatile pan-cathepsin-activatable NIR agents for imaging various disease-related events. These activatable probes are optically silent in their intact state and become highly fluorescent following protease-mediated cleavage and activation.
