Regulation of Elastinolytic Cysteine Proteinase Activity in Normal and Cathepsin K–Deficient Human Macrophages
Human macrophages mediate the dissolution of elastic lamina by mobilizing tissue-destructive cysteine proteinases. While macrophage-mediated elastin degradation has been linked to the expression of cathepsins L and S, these cells also express cathepsin K, a new member of the cysteine proteinase fami...
