| Official Name |
| Cathepsin H.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Aleurain. |
| Cathepsin B3. |
| Cathepsin BA. |
| N-benzoylarginine-beta-naphthylamide hydrolase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| Hydrolysis of proteins, acting as an aminopeptidase (notably, cleaving Arg-|-Xaa bonds) as well as an endopeptidase |
| Comment(s) |
- Present in lysosomes of mammalian cells.
- Because of the combination of endopeptidase and aminopeptidase
activity it can be considered as 'endoaminopeptidase'.
- Belongs to peptidase family C1.
