Acid hydrolases in blister fluid. 3. Characterization and quantification of peptide hydrolases. 1978

G Volden

Cathepsin B1 and Cathepsin C have been characterized and quantified in suction blister fluid. These enzymes revealed practically no activity in interstitial fluid and serum. Arylamidase was also investigated and found to have similar concentrations in serum, blister fluid and interstitial fluid. The properties of arylamidase from these sources were identical.

D002403	Cathepsins	A group of lysosomal proteinases or endopeptidases found in aqueous extracts of a variety of animal tissues. They function optimally within an acidic pH range. The cathepsins occur as a variety of enzyme subtypes including SERINE PROTEASES; ASPARTIC PROTEINASES; and CYSTEINE PROTEASES.	Cathepsin
D005110	Extracellular Space	Interstitial space between cells, occupied by INTERSTITIAL FLUID as well as amorphous and fibrous substances. For organisms with a CELL WALL, the extracellular space includes everything outside of the CELL MEMBRANE including the PERIPLASM and the cell wall.

D005122	Exudates and Transudates	Exudates are fluids, CELLS, or other cellular substances that are slowly discharged from BLOOD VESSELS usually from inflamed tissues. Transudates are fluids that pass through a membrane or squeeze through tissue or into the EXTRACELLULAR SPACE of TISSUES. Transudates are thin and watery and contain few cells or PROTEINS.
