About Ctsl

Chromosome 13: 64,507,151-64,518,704 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001006.3

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 241 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 115 phenotypes. Broad expression in placenta adult (RPKM 194.5), liver E18 (RPKM 75.5) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase C1 (papain) family of cysteine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the activation peptide and the Cathepsin L1 heavy and LIGHT chains. The mature Enzyme appears to be important in embryonic development through its processing of histone H3 and may play a role in disease progression in a model of kidney disease. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit hair loss, skin thickening, bone and heart defects, and enhanced susceptibility to Bacterial infection. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified in the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
