We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Members of the CTS group are denoted as CTSA, CTSB etc and cleave proteins at different peptide bonds. The CTSs are expressed as an inactive precursor '''pro-CTS''' (PCTS) which becomes active when a long residue prosegment is cleaved off producing the mature CTS (MCTS).<ref>PMID:15751268</ref> For details on pro-CTS see [[Molecular Playground/Human PPCA]]. |

| - | <br /> | + | *'''CTS D, E''' are aspartyl proteases which degrade insulin.<br /> |

| + | CTS B overexpression is associated with metastatic phenotypes in cancer. CTS C mutations are responsible for the Papillon-Lefevre syndrome. CTS K is involved in osteoporosis. CTS H overexpression is associated with prostate cancer. CTS L1 is implicated in myofibril necrosis. | ||
| - | == | + | == Relevance == |
| + | CTS B breaks down proteins which are involved in amyloid plaques. CTS D is used as a breast cancer marker. CTS L is a potential drug target in cancer treatment. CTS L2 is expressed by cells of breast and colorectal carcinomas. | ||
