Chromatographic evidence for the existence of multiple forms of cathepsin B1. 1972

S G Franklin, and R M Metrione

Preparations of ox spleen cathepsin B1 have been found to give multiple peaks of activity upon chromatography on DEAE-cellulose in NaCl gradients or by equilibrium chromatography in 0.05m-NaCl. CM-cellulose gradient chromatography also shows several cathepsin B1 peaks. This evidence indicates that ox spleen cathepsin B1 can exist in at least three to five forms. All forms have the same molecular weight, are thiol-activated and are inhibited by typical thiol inhibitors. The possible sources of this multiplicity of activity are discussed and a possible physiological role for cathepsin B2 is suggested.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
