Cathepsin C, also known as dipeptidyl-peptidase I (DPPI), is a cysteine protease of the papain family (1). Cathepsin C sequentially removes dipeptides from the free N-termini of proteins and peptides. It has broad specificity except that it does not cleave a basic amino acid (Arg or Lys) in the N-terminal position or Pro on either side of the scissle bond. It requires halide ions for activity. The pro form contains a pro peptide and a catalytic region, which can be further processed into heavy/ alpha and light/ beta chains that are linked by a disulfide bond. It is broadly distributed. Cathepsin C plays a role in the lysosomal degradation. It also functions as a key enzyme in the activation of granule serine proteases in cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells (granzymes A and B), mast cells (tryptase and chymase), and neutrophils (Cathepsin G and elastase) by removing their N-terminal activation dipeptides (2). Loss of function mutations in the Cathepsin C gene result in periodontal disease and palmoplantar keratosis (3).

Scientific Data Images for Human Cathepsin C/DPPI Antibody
Detection of Human Cathepsin C/DPPI by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of A549 human lung carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Cathepsin C/DPPI Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1071) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for Cathepsin C/DPPI at approximately 55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Human Cathepsin C/DPPI by Simple WesternTM.
Simple Western lane view shows lysates of A549 human lung carcinoma cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Cathepsin C/DPPI at approximately 56 kDa (as indicated) using 50 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Cathepsin C/DPPI Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1071) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system. Non-specific interaction with the 230 kDa Simple Western standard may be seen with this antibody.
Cathepsin C/DPPI in Human Lung Cancer Tissue.
Cathepsin C/DPPI was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human lung cancer tissue using Goat Anti-Human Cathepsin C/DPPI Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1071) at 1 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in cancer cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
Detection of Human Cathepsin C/DPPI by Western Blot
Hypoglycosylation of proteins in knockout HEK293 cell lines.Cell lines were transfected with expression vectors for the following human glycoproteins: (a) SHBG, (b) SHBG derivatives (see diagram) with single glycosylation sites (SHBG N380Q and N396Q), (c) a cathepsin C derivative with a single glycosylation site (CatC delta 234-HA), (d) prosaposin (pSAP-DDKHis), (e) haptoglobin (Hp-DDKHis), (f) hemopexin (Hpx-DDKHis). Endogenous progranulin (pGran) (d) was analyzed using non-transfected cells. The cells were pulse labeled for 10 min and chased for 10 min (pSAP, pGran and CatC delta 234-HA) or pulse labeled for 5 min and chased for 20 min (Hp, SHBG and Hpx). Glycoproteins precipitated with anti-DDK, anti-HA or anti-SHBG were resolved by PAGE in SDS. EH designates treatment with endoglycosidase H. Quantified values below gel lanes (a–f) are for the displayed image, which is representative of two or more experiments. (b) The vertical line indicates the excision of three intervening gel lanes. (d) Resolution of pGran glycoforms is not sufficient for quantification. Nonglycosylated forms of pSAP, Hp, and Hpx that comigrate with the EH-digested form of the substrate in HEK293 cells correspond to a non-translocated precursor and were not used to calculate the average number of glycans. (a–f) Phosphorimages were cropped to display the region of interest. Full-length phosphorimages are shown in Supplemental Fig. S5. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26864433), licensed under a CC-BY license.
