cathepsin-H (CTSH)

Function: - role in overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes - hydrolysis of proteins - aminopeptidase (notably, cleaving Arg-|-Xaa bonds) & endopeptidase activity Structure: - composed of a mini chain & a large chain large chain may be split into heavy & light chain all chains are held together by disulfide bonds - belongs to the peptidase C1 family Compartment: lysosome

General

cathepsin cysteine proteinase; thiol proteinase glycoprotein
