Prosaposin Is Cleaved Into Saposins by Multiple Cathepsins in a Progranulin‐Regulated Fashion
Prosaposin (PSAP) is a lysosomal protein cleaved into four bioactive saposins (SapA‐D) that regulate sphingolipid breakdown. Here, we identify nine cathepsins, including seven newly implicated enzymes, that process PSAP in a pH‐dependent manner to generate distinct cleavage products.
