Abstract
Activity-based probes enable noninvasive detection, cellular localization, and proteomic identification of proteases activated during colitis and are potential diagnostic tools for detection of predictive disease biomarkers. Macrophage cathepsins are activated during colitis, and Cat-S activates nociceptors to induce visceral pain via protease-activated receptor-2. Cat-S mediates colitis pain and is a potential therapeutic target.
