Cancer, Cathepsin D is a mitogen and "it attenuates the anti-tumor immune response of decaying chemokines to inhibit the function of dendritic cells". Cathepsins B and L are involved in matrix degradation and cell invasion. [3] Stroke [4] Traumatic brain injury [5] Alzheimer's disease [6] Arthritis [7]
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 ...
The production of cathelicidin is up-regulated by vitamin D. [31] [32] SAAP-148 (a synthetic antimicrobial and antibiofilm peptide) is a modified version of LL-37 that has enhanced antimicrobial activities compared to LL-37. In particular, SAAP-148 was more efficient in killing bacteria under physiological conditions. [33]
Common lipid signaling molecules: lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) platelet activating factor (PAF) anandamide or arachidonoyl ethanolamine (AEA). Lipid signaling, broadly defined, refers to any biological cell signaling event involving a lipid messenger that binds a protein target, such as a receptor, kinase or phosphatase, which in turn mediate the effects of these ...
Typical eukaryotic animal cell structure. Eukaryotes have a nucleus where DNA is contained. They are usually larger than prokaryotes and contain many more organelles. The nucleus, the feature of a eukaryote that distinguishes it from a prokaryote, contains a nuclear envelope, nucleolus and chromatin.
Cathepsin B is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum as a preproenzyme of 339 amino acids with a signal peptide of 17 amino acids. [14] [15] Procathepsin B of 43/46 kDa is then transported to the Golgi apparatus, where cathepsin B is formed. Mature cathepsin B is composed of a heavy chain of 25-26 kDa and a light chain of 5kDa, which ...
