General description
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.
Biochem/physiol Actions
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.
Unit Definition

Lysosomal proteases play a crucial role in maintaining cell homeostasis. Human cathepsin D manages protein turnover degrading misfolded and aggregated proteins and favors apoptosis in the case of proteostasis disruption. However, when cathepsin D regulation is affected, it can contribute

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.
