Ctsk - cathepsin K Gene
Also Known as catK; Ms10q; MMS10-Q
Species: Mus musculus
About Ctsk
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 240 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 55 phenotypes. Biased expression in bladder adult (RPKM 27.4), limb E14.5 (RPKM 13.7) and 12 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Cathepsin family of cysteine proteases that is highly expressed in osteoclasts and is involved in the degradation of Collagen and Other matrix proteins in bone. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, functional enzyme. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit phenotypic features of pycnodysostosis such as increased bone density and bone deformity, which become progressively more pronounced with age.
