Proteolytic Activation of Human Cathepsin A [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Galactosialidosis is a human lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency in the multifunctional lysosomal protease cathepsin A (also known as protective protein/cathepsin A, PPCA, catA, HPP, and CTSA; EC 3.4.16.5). Previous structural work on the inactive precursor human cathepsin A (zymogen) led to a two-stage model for activation, where ...

Plasminogen activator in human tears [PDF]

Eye, 1992
Measurements were made of the nature and levels of plasminogen activator in human tears using, as a model of inflammation, patients undergoing cataract surgery. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) but not urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) was found in tears. A wide variation in the range of t-PA in pre-operative tears was found.
