A lysosomal enzyme in peptidase family C1 (papain family) that is readily inhibited by the diazomethane inhibitor Z-Phe-Phe-CHN2 or the epoxide inhibitor E-64

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
Reaction Schemes
similar to that of papain. As compared to cathepsin B, cathepsin L exhibits higher activity towards protein substrates, but has little activity on Z-Arg-Arg-NHMec, and no peptidyl-dipeptidase activity

Synonyms
cathepsin l, cathepsin l-like, cathepsin-l, human cathepsin l, cpl-1, cat l, cwp84, cathl, major excreted protein, smcl1, more
