Cathepsins are protease enzymes that can be divided into several families. Cathepsins come in serine, cysteine, or aspartyl protease varieties. Humans have cathepsins from about 15 different classes (Cathepsin A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, O, S, V, W, and Z). Cathepsins perform a variety of tasks and are active in the lysosome's low pH environment. Similar to other enzymes, they are essential for a variety of physiological processes, including apoptosis, vesicular trafficking, autophagy, angiogenesis, proliferation, metastasis, digestion, blood clotting, bone resorption, ion channel activity, innate immunity, complement activation, and a host of others.
Numerous pathologies, such as arthritis, periodontitis, pancreatitis, macular degeneration, muscular dystrophy, atherosclerosis, obesity, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, tuberculosis, and Ebola, have been linked to the dysregulated cathepsins.
