Description générale

Cathepsin D is an aspartic protease, which is located in lysosomes. It is involved in protein catabolism and maintains hormone and antigen processing. Cathepsin D is implicated in neoplasia and neurodegenerative changes. It regulates lysosomal proteolysis and endogenous fibrinolysis.

Application

Cathepsin D from human liver has been used:
  • in β-secretase activity assay
  • for enzymatic degradation of amyloid β 1-42
  • in microinjection of human foreskin fibroblasts

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.

Autres remarques

Contains α, β and γ isoenzymes as observed by isoelectric-focusing.

Cathepsin D (CatD) is a lysosomal proteolytic enzyme expressed in almost all tissues and organs. This protease is a multifunctional enzyme responsible for essential biological processes such as cell cycle regulation, differentiation, migration, tissue remodeling, neuronal growth, ovulation, and apoptosis.

In this study, cathepsin D was oxidized in vitro with different concentrations of H2O2, and the activity, structure, and extent of myofibrillar protein degradation by oxidized cathepsin D were evaluated. The sulfhydryl content of cathepsin D decreased to 9.20% after

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.
