|
CTSL and CTSB colocalize to the secretory granule compartment of skin mast cells  |
basic FUNCTION
| cysteine proteinase cleaving collagen and elastin |
|
involved in matrix degradation during endochondral ossification |
|
having a critical role in the integration of circulating endothelial progenitor cells into ischemic tissue and is required for endothelial progenitor cells -mediated neovascularization |
|
playing a potent role in degrading collagen, laminin, and implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis |
|
playing a major role in intracellular protein catabolism |
|
functioning as a prohormone -processing enzyme for production of the enkephalin peptide neurotransmitter(through secretory vesicules) |
|
playing a role in peptide generation for MHC class 2 presentation |
|
functions as a proneuropeptide processing enzyme for the conversion of proenkephalin to mature (Met)enkephalin, an opioid peptide neurotransmitter and hormone, as a distinct cysteine protease pathway for producing the enkephalin member of neuropeptides |
|
playing an intracellular role in normal intestinal epithelial polarization and initiation of neoplasia  |
|
role in the degradation of the matrix protein fibronectin, insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R), essential molecules for adipogenesis and glucose metabolism |
|
may play important roles during normal placentation and in the etiology of pre-eclampsia |
|
stabilizes epigenetic heterochromatin markers on pericentromeric heterochromatin and the Y chromosome through a novel mechanism that does not involve DNA methylation or affect heterochromatin structure and operates on both somatic and sex chromosomes |
|
participates as a key proteolytic enzyme for NPY production in secretory vesicles  |
|
biological role in the production of NPY, a peptide neurotransmitter, and neuroendocrine hormone  |
|
responsible for processing and activation of proheparanase through multiple cleavages of a linker segment  |
|
important lysosomal proteinase involved in a variety of cellular functions including intracellular protein turnover, epidermal homeostasis, and hair development  |
|
improves cardiac function and inhibits cardiac hypertrophy, inflammation, and fibrosis through blocking AKT/GSK3B signaling  |
|
lysosomal proteinase whose expression is also up-regulated in the skeletal muscle during starvation  |
|
with CTSL, and CTSK, implicated in atherogenesis  |
|
CTSL1 and CTSB are central to the processing of protryptase(s) in human mast cells  |
|
CTSL, CTSZ, account for the lysosome's capacity to digest polyQ sequences, and are important in defending against the accumulation and toxicity of polyQ proteins  |
|
within lysosomes, CTSL is a major, probably the only, rate-limiting protease in the digestion of polyQ repeats in proteins, although many other lysosomal proteases can degrade the typical polypeptide sequences in myoglobin  |
|
CTSB, CTSK, CTSL1, CTSS may be putative leptin activity regulators in white adipose tissue (WAT)  |
|
negatively regulates bone marrow (BM) B-cell production and output therefore influencing the homeostasis of peripheral B cells  |
|
lysosomal CTSL attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and preserves cardiac function through facilitation of autophagy and proteasomal protein processing  |
|
cysteine protease that degrades the peri-tumoral tissue  |
|
CTSB and CTSL are essential in SNCA lysosomal degradation, establishing groundwork to explore mechanisms to enhance their cellular activity and levels as a potential strategy for clearance of SNCA  |
