Gene information for CTSS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1520
Official gene symbolCTSS
Full namecathepsin S
Aliases,MGC3886,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that may participate in the degradation of antigenic proteins to peptides for presentation on MHC class II molecules. The encoded protein can function as an elastase over a broad pH range in alveolar macrophages. Transcript variants utilizing alternative polyadenylation signals exist for this gene.
