Description générale

Research area: Cell Signaling

Cathepsin D is a soluble endosomal-lysosomal aspartic protease and is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum as preprocathepsin D. It is encoded by the CTSD gene located in the 11p15.5 region.

Application

Cathepsin D from bovine spleen has been used:
  • in in vitro dose-dependent fluorometric activity assays.
  • in in vitro myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) digestion to study the uptake of malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified MOG and its implications in central nervous system autoimmunity.
  • for enzymatic digestion of the proteoglycan moiety of the articular cartilage in order to determine its dynamic elastic modulus at two different levels of tissue organization.
  • in cathepsin D activity assay.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Cathepsin D is an endosomal-lysosomal aspartic protease implicated in breast cancer metastasis and Alzheimer′s disease. Lysosomal release of cathepsin D has been found to precede cytochrome c release and loss of membrane potential in apoptotic human foreskin fibroblasts. Cathepsin D levels in PC12 cells increase 12 to 24 hours after apoptosis is induced.

Définition de l'unité

Implication of the intracellular proteolytic activity of Cathepsin D (CathD), a lysosomal aspartyl-protease overexpressed in numerous solid tumors, has been evidenced on tumor growth. Its intracellular inhibition by potent inhibitors such as pepstatin constitutes a relevant but challenging molecular target.
