E-64 | a broad-spectrum cysteine peptidase inhibitor | Homo sapiens | |
additional information | endogenous cysteine peptidase inhibitors like stefin B act in safe-guarding mammalian cells by their presence in the cyto- or nucleoplasm, and thus protect from activities of proteolytic enzymes leaking into the cytoplasm upon, for instance, non-intended rupture of endolysosomes in pathological situations | Homo sapiens | |
N-benzyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-phenylalanine-fluoromethyl ketone | an irreversible cathepsin inhibitor | Homo sapiens | |
Stefin B | a potent cathepsin L inhibitor, colorectal carcinoma cells reveal only very faint amounts of immunolabeled stefin B within their nuclei, while it is prominently present within the cytoplasm of Caco-2 and SW-620 cells, and mostly associated with the cytoplasmic face of vesicles in HCT-116 cells | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | nuclear cathepsin L activity is required for cell cycle progression of colorectal carcinoma cells. The activity of cathepsin L is high in the nucleus of colorectal carcinoma cells because of lacking stefin B inhibitory activity. Nuclear cathepsin L accelerates cell cycle progression of HCT116 cells. Cysteine cathepsins may play significant roles in carcinogenesis due to deregulated trafficking | Homo sapiens |
