Target Information

Cathepsins (CTSs) are lysosomal cysteine proteases crucial for protein turnover, both intracellularly and extracellularly. They degrade extracellular matrices and process antigenic proteins, among other functions. Cathepsin K (CTSK) is one such enzyme, a cysteine cathepsin specifically involved in bone remodeling and resorption. Notably, CTSK is the most active mammalian collagenase within the cysteine cathepsin family. Cathepsin K (CatK) in hamsters, just like in other mammals, is a cysteine protease primarily secreted by osteoclasts to degrade bone matrix proteins during resorption.

Target Synonym CTSK; Cathepsin K; CTSO; CTS02; Cathepsin X; Cathepsin O; Cathepsin O2
