1. The degradation of the bone matrix proteins osteocalcin, osteonectin and alpha 2HS-glycoprotein by human cathepsins B and L and human osteoclastoma cathepsins has been investigated. 2. Intermediate degradation products (M(r) > 12 kDa) were not observed during the digestion of alpha 2HS-glycoprotein and osteonectin by cathepsins B and L although they were observed with some of the osteoclastoma cathepsins. Most of the osteoclastoma cathepsins were capable of degrading these two proteins to small peptides at comparable rates. 3. Each cathepsin produced a different pattern of osteocalcin degradation products. 4. The extensive range of non-collagenous proteins in bone matrix may necessitate the production by osteoclasts of cathepsins with different specificities during bone resorption.

D002401 Cathepsin B A lysosomal cysteine proteinase with a specificity similar to that of PAPAIN. The enzyme is present in a variety of tissues and is important in many physiological and pathological processes. In pathology, cathepsin B has been found to be involved in DEMYELINATION; EMPHYSEMA; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, and NEOPLASM INVASIVENESS.

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
