Target Information
In felines, cathepsin W (CTSW) is a cysteine protease of the C1 peptidase family, expressed in CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, and regulated by interleukin-2 (IL-2). It is primarily localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and may play a role in T-cell cytolytic activity. CTSW is also crucial for the function of peripheral regulatory T cells (pTregs), especially under TGF-β stimulation. Downregulation of CTSW is associated with poor prognosis in certain diseases, including some cancers.
