Blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma cause schistosomiasis, one of the most serious parasitic diseases. Cathepsin C (EC 3.4.14.1) is a digestive enzyme of the blood flukes and a potential drug target. This cysteine protease has not been studied in detail yet. In this thesis, cathepsin C activity was detected in the extract of adult blood flukes S. mansoni and S. japonicum. Inhibitory specificity of these enzymes was determined using of set of selective inhibitors of mammalian cathepsins. Cathepsins C were visualized on SDS-PAGE gels with fluorescent proteomic probe. Furthermore, recombinant cathepsin C of S. mansoni (SmCC) was prepared by homologous expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris. (In Czech
