Cathepsin B (Bos taurus)

Summary

Protein Function

CSTB is a thiol protease which is believed to participate in intracellular degradation and turnover of proteins. It has also been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis.
Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Preferentially cleaves -Arg-Arg-|-Xaa bonds in small molecule substrates (thus differing from cathepsin L). In addition to being an endopeptidase, shows peptidyl-dipeptidase activity, liberating C-terminal dipeptides.
