CTSW - cathepsin W Gene
Also Known as LYPN
Species: Homo sapiens
About CTSW
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.
