IUBMB Comments

Cathepsin V is a human lysosomal cysteine endopeptidase of family C1 (papain family) that is maximally active at pH 5.7 and unstable at neutral pH. Compound E-64, leupeptin and chicken cystatin are inhibitors. Human cathepsin V shows expression restricted to thymus, testis, corneal epithelium and some colon and breast carcinomas. Human gene locus: 9q22.2

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
Reaction Schemes
The recombinant enzyme hydrolyses proteins (serum albumin, collagen) and synthetic substrates (Z-Phe-Arg-NHMec > Z-Leu-Arg-NHMec > Z-Val-Arg-NHMec)

Synonyms
cathepsin v, ctsl2, stratum corneum thiol protease, cathepsin v/l2, cathepsin-v, cathepsin l2/v, more
