Calpain and
cathepsin activities in postmortem fish and meat muscles.
SLPI has antiprotease activity and plays an important role in neutralizing enzymes such as neutrophil elastase to prevent excessive tissue damage during inflammation.[5] For this reason, we investigated if the
cathepsin K activity of BALF can be inhibited by SLPI.
Cathepsin L activity was measured at both the optimum pH for enzyme activity (pH 5.5) and ultimate pH (Figure 2).

Measurement of
cathepsins B and L enzyme activity: The method used to obtain the fractions enriched with lysosomes (FEL) and supernatant (cytosolic) fraction was modified from Ichihara et al.
Evidence for a founder mutation in the
cathepsin C gene in three families with Papillon-Lefevre syndrome.
Results: The highest number of metastatic axillary lymph nodes and the highest rate of
cathepsin D staining were statistically found in the cases with positive axillary lymph node metastasis and extranodal tumor invasion.
