Cathepsin C (CatC) is a dipeptidyl‐exopeptidase which activates neutrophil serine protease
precursors (elastase, proteinase 3, cathepsin G and NSP4) by removing their N‐terminal
propeptide in bone marrow cells at the promyelocytic stage of neutrophil differentiation. The
resulting active neutrophil serine proteases are implicated in chronic inflammatory and
autoimmune diseases. Hence, inhibition of CatC represents a therapeutic strategy to
suppress excessive neutrophil serine protease activities in various neutrophil mediated …
