Extra recently, threonine, glutamate and asparagine proteases have been added as classes. On the other hand,glutamate and asparagine proteases have not been [33] found in humans or other mammals so far . The seven catalytic classes are depicted in Figure two. Inside the last decades, proteases have come in to the image as a new target for drug development. An overview ofWJG|www.wjgnet.comDecember 21, 2016|Volume 22|Concern 47|Ceuleers H et al .

Some examples of serine protease inhibitors that were already tested in clinical trials are summarized in Table 1, thereby emphasizing the widespread indications. Proteases can also act as signaling molecules; they regulate cell functions by modulating protease-activated recept.
