Background
CTSB (cathepsin B), a member of the cysteine cathepsin family. was primarily found as a cysteine protease that was involved in the degradation of lysosomal proteins. Cathepsin B is secreted as a pro-enzyme and is activated to its active form via various molecules.Cathepsin B was identified as the major enzyme responsible for endosomal proteolysis of internalized epidermal growth factor receptor complexes and insulin-like growth factor-I. Cathepsin B also degrades preformed extracellular oligomeric and fibrillar amyloid in aged APP transgenic mice.
