ENCODES a protein that exhibits cysteine-type peptidase activity (inferred); hydrolase activity (inferred); peptidase activity (inferred); INVOLVED IN proteolysis (inferred); FOUND IN perinuclear region of cytoplasm; INTERACTS WITH ammonium chloride; bisphenol A; C60 fullerene
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space and lysosome. Is expressed in several structures, includi
ng brain; extraembryonic component; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human CTSL (cathepsin L). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
