Target Details for Cathepsin B

Target: Cathepsin B (CTSB)

Alternative Name: Cathepsin B

Background: Cathepsin B is a normal lysosomal cysteine proteinase that is expressed in all cells. It is synthesized as an inactive 43 kDa pro-enzyme which, by removal of a 62 amino acid propeptide, is activated to the single-chain form of 31 kDa or the two-chain form (25 and 5 kDa subunits). Matured cathepsin B is normally localized in the lysosomes where it functions in protein turnover. Cathepsin B is also shown capable of degrading extracellular matrix proteins. Elevated levels of cathepsin B correlate with malignancy suggesting that this enzyme may be a useful prognostic marker for several types of human cancers.Synonyms: APP secretase, APPS, CPSB, CTSB, Cathepsin B1
