Gene Information

human ... CTSK(1513)

General description

Procathepsin K is the inactive proenzyme of cathepsin K. Cathepsin K is a lysosomal cysteine protease and part of the papain cysteine protease family. It is expressed in osteoclasts. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 1q21.

Immunogen

Peptide with sequence C-KTHRKQYNNKVDE from the internal region (near N-terminus) of the protein sequence according to NP_000387.1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cathepsin K has a role in bone resorption and remodeling. It has a triple helical collagen hydrolase activity. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein have been linked to pycnodysostosis.
