V-cath endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.50, AcNPV protease, BmNPV protease, NPV protease, baculovirus cathepsin, nucleopolyhedrosis virus protease, viral cathepsin) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Endopeptidase of broad specificity, hydrolyzing substrates of both cathepsin L and cathepsin B

This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family C1.
