Background
Cathepsin V is a lysosomal cysteine protease which has an important role in corneal physiology.Cathepsin V was found to be differentially expressed in relation to pigmentary skin backgrounds, and was about 7.5-folds higher in keratinocytes from lightly pigmented, relative to darkly pigmented skins. It is expressed in primary keratinocytes, melanocytes, and HaCaT keratinocytes, but not in primary fibroblasts. The purified cathepsin L2 was a high molecular weight proteinase of about 78 kDa, but it was unstable to SDS and reducing conditions, which dissociated parts of the proteinase into 66 kDa, 31 kDa and 26 kDa fragments(Food Chemistry,Volume11,Issue4,879-886) and it can form a complex of 70 kDa with an unidentified subunit.
