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

Synthetic peptide of human CTSK

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.

Pycnodysostosis, an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia, is characterized by short stature, osteosclerosis, delayed cranial suture closure, hypoplastic mandible, acro-osteolysis, hypoplastic clavicle, and dental anomalies. The disorder is caused by CTSK gene defects, a gene localized on 1q21. To describe the

Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, osteosclerosis, acro-osteolysis, frequent fractures, and skull deformities. Mutation in the gene encoding cathepsin K (CTSK), which is a lysosomal cysteine protease, has been found to be responsible for

The in vitro activation of the recombinant purified human cathepsin K (EC 3.4.22.38) was examined by mutagenesis. Cathepsin K was expressed as a secreted proenzyme using baculovirus-infected Sf21 insect cells. Spontaneous in vitro activation of procathepsin K occurred at pH
