Abstract

A longitudinal study of two endopeptidases including a neutral protease and a proteinase (catheptic activity) in bovine lenses was evaluated. The neutral protease shows an increase in activity during the 1st year of life, followed by a slower rate of activity up to 5 years of age. Enzyme activity picks up momentum throughout the remaining life span. The proteinase shows an almost continuous rise in activity over the entire life span. Activities for both enzymes are highest in the equatorial sections of the lens in the 5- and 7-year-old ge groups.
