CATHEPSIN B, CATHEPSIN C AND ARYLAMIDASE IN RABBIT CORNEA

The 3 peptide hydrolases cathepsin B, cathepsin C and arylamidase have been assayed in rabbit cornea with the use of fluorigenic derivatives of β‐naphthylamine. The optimal reaction conditions and kinetic properties are described. The assay procedures which are simple and very sensitive can be used for studying the release of these enzymes from corneal cells, and further their eventual role in the pathological events following the influence of external agents.
