General description
Cathepsin B, a bilobal protein, belongs to the papain-like family of cysteine proteases. It is produced as a preproenzyme. Its catalytic site is present at the interface between the two lobes. Cathepsin B has an occluding loop. It is located in the secretory vesicles of the neuronal cells. Active cathepsin B is found in the endosomal or lysosomal compartment under normal physiological conditions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that metabolizes important molecules such as β-amyloid precursor protein into harmless fragments. Cathepsin B may be detected using the chromogenic substrate Z-Arg-Arg-pNA (z-arg-arg-p-nitroanalide) or flourogenic substrate Z-Arg-Arg-AMC (z-Arg-Arg-amino-4-methylcoumarin).
Cathepsin B possesses endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity. Active cathepsin B is mostly engaged in intracellular and extracellular protein turnover, which helps cells maintain homeostatic metabolic activity. It also participates in the regulation of pro-hormone and pro-enzyme activation, antigen processing, inflammatory reactions against antigens, tissue remodeling, and apoptosis. Cathepsin B plays a key role in acute pancreatitis. It also plays a vital role in lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis.

Cysteine peptidases have potent activities in the pathogenesis of various parasitic infections, and are considered as targets for chemotherapy and antigens for vaccine. In this study, two cathepsin B-like cysteine peptidases (EmCBP1 and EmCBP2) from Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes were identified
