Cathepsin D is an enzyme that plays a role in breaking down proteins in cells. A Cathepsin D test is a medical test that measures the level of this enzyme in blood or other tissues. This test can help to diagnose certain conditions, such as breast cancer, Gaucher's disease, and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

In breast cancer, Cathepsin D levels are elevated in the cancerous tissue compared to normal breast tissue. Therefore, measuring Cathepsin D levels in the blood or breast tissue of a person suspected to have breast cancer may help make a diagnosis or monitor the progression of the disease.

The results of the test can help healthcare providers to determine the appropriate treatment options for their patients.

Why is Cathepsin D Test Done?

The Cathepsin D test is done for several reasons, including:

Diagnosis of breast cancer: Elevated levels of Cathepsin D have been found in breast cancer cells compared to normal cells. Therefore, measuring Cathepsin D levels in the blood or breast tissue may help in diagnosing breast cancer.

Monitoring breast cancer: Measuring Cathepsin D levels in people already diagnosed with breast cancer can help in monitoring the progression of the disease and the response to treatment.

Diagnosis of Gaucher's disease: Gaucher's disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of a fatty substance in cells and certain organs. Measuring Cathepsin D levels in the blood can help in the diagnosis of this disease.
