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 .
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]
The function of these cysteine and aspartic proteases is generally unknown within bone, and they are expressed at much lower levels than cathepsin K. Studies on cathepsin L knockout mice have been mixed, with a report of reduced trabecular bone in homozygous and heterozygous cathepsin L knockout mice compared to wild-type and another report ...
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
A metallo-carboxypeptidase that cleaves a C-terminal glutamate from the peptide N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate is called "glutamate carboxypeptidase". A serine carboxypeptidase that cleaves the C-terminal residue from peptides containing the sequence -Pro-Xaa (Pro is proline, Xaa is any amino acid on the C-terminus of a peptide) is called ...

Cathepsin zymography is a technique for quantifying enzymatic activity of the cathepsin family of cysteine proteases. It is based on SDS-PAGE whereby samples tested for cathepsin activity are loaded into a polyacrylamide gel and then separated by molecular weight.
