• Uses: Cathepsin B from human liver has been used:as a positive control in the screening Cathepsin B inhibitor assayin wall extension (expansin activity) assayin microinjection human foreskin fibroblasts to test its effect on apoptosis induction Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase which hydrolyzes proteins with a broad specificity for peptide bonds. Cathepsin B may be a useful tool in Alzheimer′s research, as it may have a role in the natural defense against the disease . Cathepsin B may be used to cleave procaspase 1 and procaspase 11, and to induce apoptosis in digitonin-permeabilized cells.
