Amca-EEKPISFFRLGK + H2O | CatD cleaves the substrate Amca-EEKPISFFRLGK specifically between the two phenylalanine residues yielding the two peptides Amca-EEKPISF and FRLGK. Only the first peptide can be detected using fluorescence detection | Homo sapiens | Amca-EEKPISF + FRLGK | - |

SSLLEKGLDGAKKAVGGLGKLGKDAVEDLESVGKGAVHDVKDVLDSVL + H2O | DCD-1L, peptide present in human sweat. DCD-1L is cleaved by CatD dominantly between Leu44 and Asp45 yielding SSL-44 and the tetrapeptide DSVL and to a lower amount between Leu29 and Glu30 leading to the peptide SSL-29 and corresponding peptides ESV-19 and ESV-15, respectively. These cleavage sites agree well with the specificity of CatD, which preferably cleaves proteins and peptides with leucine or an aromatic amino acid residue in the P1 position | Homo sapiens | SSLLEKGLDGAKKAVGGLGKLGKDAVEDL + ESVGKGAVHDVKDVLDSVL | - |
