| Name |
cathepsin L;
Aldrichina grahami cysteine proteinase
|
| Class |
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Cysteine endopeptidases
 |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
Similar to that of papain. As compared to cathepsin B, cathepsin L exhibits higher activity towards protein substrates, but has little activity on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec, and no peptidyl-dipeptidase activity
|
| Comment |
A lysosomal enzyme in peptidase family C1 (papain family) that is readily inhibited by the diazomethane inhibitor Z-Phe-Phe-CHN2 or the epoxide inhibitor E-64
