Specifications
Target Information
Mouse Cathepsin D (Ctsd) is an aspartic protease localized in lysosomes, where it plays a critical role in the degradation of proteins and the turnover of cellular components. Ctsd is synthesized as a proenzyme and requires acidic pH for optimal activity. In mice, Ctsd is involved in various physiological processes, including antigen processing, apoptosis regulation, and the degradation of extracellular matrix components during tissue remodeling. Research on Ctsd in mice has shown that its deficiency leads to the accumulation of undegraded proteins and lysosomal storage disorders. Ctsd has also been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer progression, and infectious diseases, highlighting its importance as a therapeutic target.
