Assessment of the circulatory concentrations of cathepsin D, cathepsin K, and alpha-1 antitrypsin in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Abstract
Evidence has shown that cysteine protease enzymes, such as cathepsin D, cathepsin A, cathepsin K, and alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) are involved in the chronic degenerative joint process. This study aimed to determine the potential involvement of cathepsin K, cathepsin D, and AAT in patients with osteoarthritis (OA).
