Specific activity comparison between lipase and cathepsin L activities of M. squalidus and other Arachnida. The specific activities of lipase (5 A) for M. squalidus (561 ± 71 mU/mg), Uloborus sp15. (9.3 ± 1.8 mU/mg), and Amblyomma cajennense57 (6 ± 3 mU/mg) and specific activities of cysteine peptidase (5B) (cathepsin L) for M. squalidus (2.44 ± 1.4 mU/mg), Uloborus sp15. (21,400 ± 6,700 mU/mg), and Tityus serrulatus13 (15,000 ± 5,000 mU/mg).
