Cathepsin E Deficiency Impairs Autophagic Proteolysis in Macrophages

Cathepsin E is an endosomal aspartic proteinase that is predominantly expressed in immune-related cells. Recently, we showed that macrophages derived from cathepsin E-deficient (CatE −/−) mice display accumulation of lysosomal membrane proteins and abnormal membrane trafficking. In this study, we de...
