This cathepsin zymography protocol has been used to detect femtomole quantities of mature cathepsin K. [23] The different cathepsins can be identified based on their migration distance due to their molecular weights: cathepsin K (~37 kDa), V (~35 kDa), S (~25kDa), and L (~20 kDa). Cathepsins have specific pH levels at which they have optimum ...
Cathepsin L1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSL1 gene. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The protein is a cysteine cathepsin , a lysosomal cysteine protease that plays a major role in intracellular protein catabolism .
Cathepsin L may refer to: Cathepsin L1 , a human protease enzyme encoded by the CTSL gene and known for its role in viral entry Cathepsin L2 , a human protease enzyme encoded by the CTSV gene and also known as cathepsin V
The primary function of keratinocytes is the formation of a barrier against environmental damage by heat, UV radiation, dehydration, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses.

The activity of cysteine proteases is regulated by a few general mechanisms, which includes the production of zymogens, selective expression, pH modification, cellular compartmentalization, and regulation of their enzymatic activity by endogenous inhibitors, which seemingly is the most efficient mechanism associated with the regulation of the ...
E-64 is an epoxide which can irreversibly inhibit a wide range of cysteine peptidases.. The compound was first isolated and identified from Aspergillus japonicus in 1978. [1] It has since been shown to inhibit many cysteine peptidases such as papain, cathepsin B, cathepsin L, calpain and staphopain.
A calpain (/ ˈ k æ l p eɪ n /; [1] EC 3.4.22.52, EC 3.4.22.53) is a protein belonging to the family of calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal cysteine proteases (proteolytic enzymes) expressed ubiquitously in mammals and many other organisms.
