Gene Information

human ... CTSB(1508)

General description

Cathepsin B gene is mapped to human chromosome 8p23.1. It is a lysosomal cysteine with 252 amino acids distributed in two chains and is homologous to rat liver sequence. It has disc shaped structure with two domains namely the left-hand ′L′ domain at the amino terminal and right hand ′R′ domain at the carboxyl-terminal.

Application

Cathepsin B from human liver has been used:
  • as a positive control in the screening Cathepsin B inhibitor assay
  • in wall extension (expansin activity) assay
  • in microinjection human foreskin fibroblasts to test its effect on apoptosis induction

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cathepsin B from human liver is highly expressed in the esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). It reduces hepatic inflammation and fibrogenesis and may serve as a potential candidate for treating liver diseases.
Cathepsin B has been found to cleave procaspase 1 and procaspase 11 and to induce apoptosis in digitonin-permeabilized cells. Translocation of cathepsin B from the cytoplasm to the nucleus contributes to bile salt induced apoptosis of rat hepatocytes. Levels of cathepsin B in PC12 cells significantly decrease 12 to 24 hours after apoptosis is induced.

Enzymatic Assay of Cathepsin B

Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase with broad specificity. This protocol uses Nα–CBZ–Arg–Arg–7–amido–4–methylcoumarin as the substrate for fluorometric detection of Cathepsin B activity.
