Customer Q&As

What is Cathepsin S?

A: Cathepsin S is a lysosomal cysteine protease that is found in various cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, and osteoclasts. It plays a role in protein degradation and antigen presentation.

What is the role of cathepsin S?

A: Cathepsin S is involved in the processing of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, which are important for immune responses. It cleaves the invariant chain that is bound to MHC class II molecules, allowing the MHC class II molecules to bind antigenic peptides and present them to T cells.

Where is cathepsin S located?

A: Cathepsin S is located in the lysosomes of cells.

What diseases are cathepsin S associated with?

A: Cathepsin S is implicated in various pathological conditions, such as autoimmune diseases and cancer metastasis.
