Description
An irreversible, highly selective cysteine protease inhibitor and cell permeable analog of E-64D. Specifically E-64D is an irreversible cathepsin L and B inhibitor.
E-64d has played an imporant role in studies of the Ebola virus (EBOV). E-64d has been shown to lead to the accumulation of CTFs and AICD with no change ingamma and beta secretase activities. Additionally, utilizing E-64d has shown results in accumulation of autophagic bodies inside vacuoles in Arabidopsis root cells.
