Cathepsin L2
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.4 Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases) > 3.4.22 Cysteine endopeptidases > 3.4.22.B60 cathepsin L2
Cathepsin L2 is a cathepsin-L-family cysteine endopeptidase found in viruses and cellular organisms. It prefers Arg at P1 and accepts Pro at P2 more efficiently than cathepsin L1. In organisms it contributes to lysosomal protein turnover and, in parasitic helminths, host hemoglobin digestion. It features a papain-like catalytic fold.
