Cathepsin H has been used to determine the potential of aziridinyl peptides to act as inhibitors of this protein and potentially explore their therapeutic applications. | [Biological Activity]
Cathepsin Hderived from human liverserves dual functions as both an aminopeptidase and an endopeptidase. It plays a significant role in the catabolism of proteins within lysosomes. Cathepsin H is classified as an endoaminopeptidase because it can hydrolyze proteinsN-terminal substituted proteinsamino acid derivativesand peptides with different chain lengths and N-terminal free amino acid derivatives. This protein is also observed to exhibit amidase and esterase activity. |
