Identification of Five Molecular forms of Cathepsin D in Bovine Milk
Chapter
Abstract
Bovine milk contains a wide range of enzymes (1), including zymogens for the proteolytic enzymes plasmin and cathepsin D (2,3). Inside the cell procathepsin D is rapidly processed to the mature cathepsin D found in lysosomes (4). Resulting from the limited availability of procathepsin D the activation process leading to cathepsin D has been less clarified than e.g. the activation pathways of pepsinogen.
