additional information the concentration of cathepsin L is highest in the kidney, where it is more than 3 times higher than in the liver, spleen, lungs and brain. Nervous tissues, especially the cerebellar cortex, also contains fairly high concentrations of cathepsin L, but the heart, skeletal muscle, and gastrointestinal tract contain low concentrations, as do peripheral blood cells. The enzyme content of the macrophages is 20% of that of cathepsin B. The concentration of cathepsin L in lymphocytes, neutrophils, and erythrocytes is 10%, 20% and less than 0.2% respectively, of those in resident macrophages Rattus norvegicus
