abstract：:Lysosomal beta-galactosidase precursor is processed to a mature form and associated with protective protein in lysosomes. In this study we used two cysteine protease proinhibitors, E64-d for cathepsins B, S, H, and L, and CA074Me for cathepsin B. They are converted intracellularly to active forms, E-64c and CA074, res...
