The hydrolysis of a tritiated elastin substrate by the human cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and L has been studied. Cathepsin L was found to be at least 100-fold more active on this substrate than cathepsin B. The specific activity of cathepsin L at pH 5.5 for hydrolysis of elastin was about the same as that of pig pancreatic elastase at its optimum pH of 8.8.
已对人半胱氨酸蛋白酶组织蛋白酶B和L对氚标记弹性蛋白底物的水解作用进行了研究。发现组织蛋白酶L对该底物的活性比组织蛋白酶B至少高100倍。组织蛋白酶L在pH 5.5时水解弹性蛋白的比活性与猪胰弹性蛋白酶在其最适pH 8.8时的比活性大致相同。
