Abstract
The stable cathepsin B-like cysteine (thiol) proteinase secreted from human breast tumors in culture was destabilized by mercurial compounds. After such treatment the enzyme cross-reacts in a radioimmunoassay with a monospecific antiserum to human liver cathepsin B. The secreted enzyme may be a precursor form of lysosomal cathepsin B.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
