Ctsc - cathepsin C Gene
Also Known as CatC; DPP1; DPPI
Species: Mus musculus
About Ctsc
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 233 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 14 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in lung adult (RPKM 8.), mammary gland adult (RPKM 4.8) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase C1 (papain) family of cysteine proteases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the Dipeptidyl Peptidase 1 light, heavy, and exclusion domain chains, which together comprise one subunit of the homotetrameric enzyme. This enzyme has amino dipeptidase activity and may play a role in the activation of granzymes during inflammation. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired granzyme activation and enhanced survival in a sepsis model. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
