| Superfamily | Cysteine proteinases | 
| Functional Family | Cathepsin B | 
Enzyme Information
| 3.4.22.1 | Cathepsin B. based on mapping to UniProt P07858 Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Preferentially cleaves -Arg-Arg-|-Xaa bonds in small molecule substrates (thus differing from cathepsin L). In addition to being an endopeptidase, shows peptidyl-dipeptidase activity, liberating C-terminal dipeptides. -!- An intracellular (lysosomal) enzyme. -!- Belongs to peptidase family C1. |
