Protein Function
Important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes.
Background
Cathepsin H is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSH gene. The protein encoded by this gene gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase important in the overall degradation of lysosomal proteins. It is composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. The encoded protein, which belongs to the peptidase C1 protein family, can act both as an aminopeptidase and as an endopeptidase. Increased expression of this gene has been correlated with malignant progression of prostate tumors. Alteate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
