THE ESTIMATION OF CATHEPSIN WITH HEMOGLOBIN AND THE PARTIAL PURIFICATION OF CATHEPSIN [PDF]
An account of previous work on cathepsin may be found in the monograph of Pozzi (1935). In the hemoglobin method for the estimation of protelnase, denatured hemoglobin is digested and the digestion products not precipitable by trichloracefic acid are estimated colorimetrically.

Profiling trait anxiety: transcriptome analysis reveals cathepsin B (Ctsb) as a novel candidate gene for emotionality in mice. [PDF]
Behavioral endophenotypes are determined by a multitude of counteracting but precisely balanced molecular and physiological mechanisms. In this study, we aim to identify potential novel molecular targets that contribute to the multigenic trait "anxiety".

Involvement of cathepsin B in the plant disease resistance hypersensitive response
A diverse range of plant proteases are implicated in pathogen perception and in subsequent signalling and execution of disease resistance. We demonstrate, using protease inhibitors and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), that the plant papain cysteine ...

Identification of semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones and triazine nitriles as inhibitors of Leishmania mexicana cysteine protease CPB [PDF]
Cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily are present in nearly all eukaryotes. They play pivotal roles in the biology of parasites and inhibition of cysteine proteases is emerging as an important strategy to combat parasitic diseases such as sleeping

Investigating the role of cathepsins in breast cancer progression: a Mendelian randomization study
BackgroundBreast cancer, a major threat to women’s health worldwide, has mechanisms of onset that remain unclear. Within the human lysosomal system, a class of enzymes known as cathepsins exhibit elevated expression levels in various malignant tumors ...

Penetration of Trichobilharzia cercariae into mammals: dangerous or negligible event?
Bird schistosomes and cases of human cercarial dermatitis occur worldwide, but the number of cases is not monitored. Experiments with two schistosomes, namely Trichobilharzia szidati and T. regenti, show that they possess potent tools to penetration bird

PCSK9-mediated degradation of the LDL receptor generates a 17 kDa C-terminal LDL receptor fragment
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) binds to the LDL receptor (LDLR) at the cell surface and reroutes the internalized LDLR to intracellular degradation.
