About Ctsb

Chromosome 14: 63,359,911-63,383,372 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001007.3

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 223 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 9 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal adult (RPKM 374.9), subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 322.2) and 26 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase C1 family and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the Cathepsin B light and heavy chains, which can dimerize to generate the double chain form of the Enzyme. This Enzyme is a lysosomal cysteine protease with both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity that may play a role in protein turnover. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit reduced pancreatic damage following induced pancreatitis and reduced hepatocyte Apoptosis in a model of liver injury. Pseudogenes of this gene have been identified in the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
