Vectors for Human CTSB

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol CTSB
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name cathepsin B
  • Other Aliases APPS; CPSB; KWE; RECEUP
  • Other Desigations cathepsin B; APP secretase; amyloid precursor protein secretase; cathepsin B1; cysteine protease; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; keratolytic winter erythema (Oudtshoorn skin disease)
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the C1 family of peptidases. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. At least one of these variants encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the cathepsin B light and heavy chains, which can dimerize to form the double chain form of the enzyme. This enzyme is a lysosomal cysteine protease with both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity that may play a role in protein turnover. It is also known as amyloid precursor protein secretase and is involved in the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Incomplete proteolytic processing of APP has been suggested to be a causative factor in Alzheimer\'s disease, the most common cause of dementia. Overexpression of the encoded protein has been associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma and other tumors. Both Cathepsin B and Cathepsin L are involved in the cleavage of the spike protein from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) upon its entry to the human host cell. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2020] Annotation information: Note: This gene has been reviewed for its involvement in coronavirus biology, and is involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
