Application
Cathepsin B, Human Liver has been used to assess its linker cleavage or proteolytic activity using an LC/MS MRM-based quantitation method.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cathepsin B facilitates non-specific, bulk proteolysis within the acidic conditions of the endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Here, they break down both intracellular and extracellular proteins. Upregulation and secretion of cathepsin B have been shown to occur in many types of tumors and to correlate positively with their invasive and metastatic capabilities. Cathepsin B is shown to facilitate tumor invasion by dissolving extracellular barriers.

General description
Research area: Cell Signaling
Cathepsin B, Human Liver, is a native cathepsin B from human liver, purified by affinity chromatography. Cathepsin B is a lysosomal protease with endo/exopeptidasecitation and a carboxydipeptidase activity. It is also known as cysteine cathepsin and belongs to the C1 family of papain-like enzymes. Cathepsin B like H, L, C, X, F, O and V is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.
Optimal pH: 3.5-6.0.
