Heparin inhibits CTSL. 3 / 5
| 3

reach
"We show that heparin reduces the stability of the pro form of cathepsin L at pH 5 by binding to a putative heparin binding motif (BBXB) in the pro domain."

reach
"The presence of heparin accelerated inhibition of cathepsin L by both serpins, and in the case of SCCA-1, heparin increased the second order inhibition rate constant from 5.4 x 10 (5) to> 10 (8), indicating a rate enhancement of at least 180-fold."

reach
"For example, the glycosaminoglycan heparin, a known anti-coagulant, enhances inhibition of cathepsin L by serpin B3 and B4."
