Cathepsin E (EC 3.4.23.34) — a review
Cathepsin E belongs to the third class of enzymes — hydrolases, a subclass of peptide bond hydrolases and a sub-subclass of endopeptidases with aspartic catalytic sites. Cathepsin E is an endopeptidase with substrate specificity similar to that

Differential neuroproteomic and systems biology analysis of spinal cord injury [PDF]
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with many consequences and no known effective treatment. Although it is quite easy to diagnose traumatic SCI, the assessment of injury severity and projection of disease progression or recovery ...

Peptide synthesis by recombinant Fasciola hepatica cathepsin L1 [PDF]
Synthesis of the tripeptide Z-Phe-Arg-SerNH2 has been accomplished by a recombinant cysteine protease, cathepsin L1 from liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica), using Z-Phe-Arg-OMe as acyl acceptor and SerNH2 as nucleophile in 0.1 M ammonium acetate pH 9.0–12.5%

IGF-I receptor phosphorylation is impaired in cathepsin X-deficient prostate cancer cells [PDF]
The cysteine-type peptidase cathepsin X is highly upregulated in several cancers and presumably promotes tumor invasion through bypassing cellular senescence. Here, we present first evidence that the underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of the

AimWe have previously identified and characterized cancer stem cell (CSC) subpopulations in liver metastasis from colon adenocarcinoma (LMCA). In this study we investigated the expression and localization of cathepsins B, D and G, in relation to these ...

THE IMMUNOCYTOCHEMICAL DEMONSTRATION OF CATHEPSIN D [PDF]
Cathepsin D has been demonstrated for the first time using an immunocytochemical approach and fluorescence microscopy. It has been localized in chick epithelium-like cells and in cells of synovia from joints of rabbits with an experimental arthritis. The enzyme is associated with lysosome-like organelles: it also has a diffuse cytoplasmic distribution

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are pediatric, neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage disorders. Mutations in cathepsin D result in the most severe, congenital form of NCLs. We have previously generated a cathepsin D deficient Drosophila model, which

The association of cathepsin proteases in neurobiology is increasingly recognized. Our previous studies indicated that cathepsin-K-deficient (Ctsk−/−) mice have learning and memory impairments.
