Protein Function
Cysteine protease. May have an important role in coeal physiology.
Background
Cathepsin L2, also known as cathepsin V and encoded by the CTSL2 gene, is a human gene. It is mapped to 9q22.33. 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 coeal 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. Alteatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
