Abstract excerpt
Transfection of the human cathepsin K cDNA into CHO cells results in the expression of mature catalytically active 27-kDa protein and in cells secreting the 39-kDa proenzyme form. Monensin, which neutralizes the pH of acidic organelles, was found to inhibit intracellular processing of the proenzyme and to stimulate its secretion into the culture medium. Brefeldin A caused alterations in immunofluorescence...
