Gene information for CTSV (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1515
Official gene symbolCTSV
Full namecathepsin L2
Aliases,CATL2,CTSL2,CTSU,
Gene summaryThe 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.
