Gene Symbol:

CTSV Homo sapiens

Full name:

cathepsin V

Synonyms:

CATL2, CTSL2, CTSU, cathepsin L2, cathepsin L2, preproprotein, cathepsin U

Genomic Location:

Chr 9: 98834758-98841360

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that may play an important role in corneal physiology. This gene is expressed in colorectal and breast carcinomas but not in normal colon, mammary gland, or peritumoral tissues, suggesting a possible role for this gene in tumor processes. Alter...

View Full Description

The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that may play an important role in corneal physiology. This gene is expressed in colorectal and breast carcinomas but not in normal colon, mammary gland, or peritumoral tissues, suggesting a possible role for this gene in tumor processes. Alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
