The stable cathepsin B-like cysteine (thiol) proteinase secreted from human breast tumours in culture was shown to be destabilized by mercurial compounds. After such treatment the enzyme cross-reacts in a radioimmunoassay with a monospecific antiserum to human liver cathepsin B. It is suggested that the secreted enzyme may be a precursor form of lysosomal cathepsin B.
