Cathepsin B Is a Prorenin Processing Enzyme

Hypertension, 1996
Abstract Conversion of prorenin to renin results from proteolytic cleavage of a 43-amino-acid prorenin prosegment in renal juxtaglomerular cells. The enzyme that performs this processing is not known. Of several enzymes proposed, cathepsin B is a candidate because it colocalizes with renin in juxtaglomerular cell secretory ...

Secretion of cathepsin B and tumour invasion

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1994
Lysosomal proteases in health and disease 1,ysosomal proteases have been implicated in a variety of pathophysiological processes, such as the malignant progression of tumours [ 11, muscular dystrophy [2], acute inflammation [3] and complications accompanying the ageing process [4].

Cathepsin-B induced controlled release from peptide-capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

Chemistry, 2014
New capped silica mesoporous nanoparticles for intracellular controlled cargo release within cathepsin B expressing cells are described. Nanometric mesoporous MCM-41 supports loaded with safranin O (S1-P) or doxorubicin (S2-P) containing a molecular gate

Gold nanoparticles-based colorimetric assay for cathepsin B activity and the efficiency of its inhibitors.

Analytical Chemistry, 2014
Cathepsin B has been suggested to be a prognostic marker of melanoma, glioma, and a variety of cancers such as brain, breast, colon, esophageal, gastric, lung, ovarian, and thyroid cancers.

Binding Specificity of Papain and Cathepsin B

Enzyme, 1986
In order to obtain useful information for the design of inhibitors of cathepsin B, an important enzyme in both physiological and pathological processes, the modes of interaction between ligands and thiol proteases (papain and cathepsin B) were analyzed.

A radioimmunoassay for total human cathepsin B

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1982
A radioimmunoassay for human cathepsin B is described, which demonstrates the usefulness of protein A-bearing Staphylococcus aureus as an immunosorbent in a system where the primary antibody IgG has a low binding affinity for protein A. The removal of bound antigen from the incubation mixture is achieved by the use of a rabbit second step antiserum ...

Cathepsin B Expression in Human Tumors

1996
Cathepsin B has been linked to tumor progression through observations that its activity, secretion or membrane association are increased. The most malignant tumors, and specifically the cells at the invasive edge of those tumors, express the highest activity.

Serum cathepsin B levels, urinary excretion of cathepsin B and tissue cathepsin B content in the patients with gastric cancer.

Nihon geka hokan. Archiv fur japanische Chirurgie, 1994
Serum cathepsin B levels and urinary excretion of cathepsin B in the patients with gastric cancer were significantly higher than those in the control non-cancer patients. Moreover, cancer tissue cathepsin B content was significantly higher than that in the normal tissue.

Binding of Cathepsin B by Haptoglobin

1982
Abstract Haptoglobin can bind lysosomal Cathepsin B 1 . The active site of the enzyme is not required for binding, but complexing results in enzyme inhibition.
