The cysteine cathepsins have attracted significant research effort as drug targets. [1] [2] 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 ...
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]
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 ...
Animal models indicate that host defense peptides are crucial for both prevention and clearance of infection. It appears as though many peptides initially isolated as and termed "antimicrobial peptides" have been shown to have more significant alternative functions in vivo (e.g. hepcidin [18]). Dusquetide for example is an immunomodulator that ...
Laboratory studies indicate that teicoplanin inhibits cathepsin L, a host cell protease utilized by SARS-CoV-2 for cell entry via the endocytic pathway. In vitro experiments have demonstrated teicoplanin's ability to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection, with reported IC 50 values in the low micromolar range.
