About CTSW

Cytogenetic location: 11q13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:65,879,837-65,883,741 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 454 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in bone marrow (RPKM 42.0), spleen (RPKM 24.6) and 12 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a cysteine proteinase that may have a specific function in the mechanism or regulation of T-cell cytolytic activity. The encoded protein is found associated with the membrane inside the endoplasmic reticulum of natural killer and cytotoxic T-cells. Expression of this gene is up-regulated by interleukin-2.
