Description

General description

Cathepsin L is a cysteine protease and is secreted by numerous transformed cells in its inactive pre-form. It is ubiquitously expressed and is localized in nucleus. Cathepsin L have substrate interacting region located in L and R domain loops.

Immunogen

procathepsin L isolated from the human lung cancer cell line EPLC 32M1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cathepsin L expression is correlated with the metastatic potential of transformed cells. Cathepsin L is capable of degrading protein constituents of the extracellular matrix, this enzyme is thought to play a crucial role in tumor progression, metastasis and other disorders where the destruction of the matrix is the major cause of disease.

Reacts specifically with native and denatured forms of human cathepsin L and procathepsin L. Recognizes an epitope within amino acid residues GYGFEST (265-271 in procathepsin L and 169-175 in the mature cathepsin L molecule). The antibody may be used for the suppression of the malignant growth of myeloma cells. Cross-reactivity is observed with rat cathepsin L (strong), mouse procathepsin L (weak) and mink cathepsin and procathepsin L. Does not cross-react with human cathepsin types B, D, H and S, procathepsins B and D, rat cathepsin B, and mouse procathepsins B and D.
