EC 3.4.22.1     
Accepted name: cathepsin B
Reaction: Hydrolysis of proteins with broad specificity for peptide bonds. Preferentially cleaves -Arg-Arg┼ bonds in small molecule substrates (thus differing from cathepsin L). In addition to being an endopeptidase, shows peptidyl-dipeptidase activity, liberating C-terminal dipeptides
Other name(s): cathepsin B1 (obsolete); cathepsin II
Comments: An intracellular (lysosomal) enzyme in peptidase family C1 (papain family)
Links to other databases: BRENDA, EXPASY, KEGG, MetaCyc, MEROPS, PDB, CAS registry number: 9047-22-7
