Cathepsin B, Human Liver is a cysteine protease in liver and is involved in multiple kinds of programmed cell death (including apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and autophagic cell death). Cathepsin B (CTSB) have been implicated in various ECM-related disorders, such as dilated cardiomyopathy, lung fibrosis, proteinuric renal disorders, cancer, and osteoporosis[1].
