Description

Cathepsin S is also known as CTSS, which is a member of the peptidase C1 family.

Cathepsin S is a lysosomal cysteine protease that may participate in the degradation of antigenic proteins to peptides for presentation on MHC class II molecules.

Cathepsin S can function as an elastase over a broad pH range in alveolar macrophages.

The catalytic activity of cathepsin S is similar to cathepsin L, but with much less activity on Z-Phe-Arg-:-NHMec, and more activity on the Z-Val-Val-Arg-:-Xaa compound
