risk of chronic postsurgical pain, suggesting cathepsin G may serve as a novel target for pain control and a potential marker to predict chronic postsurgical pain. An upregulation of cathepsin G was reported in studies of keratoconus. Interactions Cathepsin G has been found to interact with: SERPINB1 Cathepsin G is inhibited by: [2-[3-[[(1-benzoyl-4-piperidinyl)methylamino]carbonyl]-2-naphthalenyl]-1-(1-naphthalenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-phosphonic acid (KPA) Caesalpinia echinata elastase inhibitor N-Arylacyl O-sulfonated aminoglycosides Cathepsin G lowers levels of: Low-density lipoprotein See also Cathepsins References Further reading External links The MEROPS online database for peptidases and their inhibitors: S01.133 Proteases EC 3.4.21 Extracellular matrix remodeling enzymes Cathepsins
