Cathepsin E (EC 3.4.23.34) — a review
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2012 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]
, 2016 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 ...

Autophagy is activated and involved in cell death with participation of cathepsins during stress-induced microspore embryogenesis in barley [PDF]
, 2018 Microspores are reprogrammed towards embryogenesis by stress. Many microspores die after this stress, limiting the efficiency of microspore embryogenesis. Autophagy is a degradation pathway that plays critical roles in stress response and cell death.

THE IMMUNOCYTOCHEMICAL DEMONSTRATION OF CATHEPSIN D [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1972 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

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009 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 ectodomain of Toll-like receptor 9 is cleaved to generate a functional receptor. [PDF]
, 2008 Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7, 8 and 9 initiate immune responses to infection by recognizing microbial nucleic acids; however, these responses come at the cost of potential autoimmunity owing to inappropriate recognition of self nucleic acids.
