Customer Q&As

What is cathepsin V?

A: Cathepsin V, also known as cathepsin L2, is an enzyme that belongs to the papain-like cysteine protease family.

Where is cathepsin V primarily expressed?

A: Cathepsin V is primarily expressed in the thymus and has a role in the immune system, specifically in the maturation and selection of T cells.

What is the function of cathepsin V?

A: Cathepsin V is involved in the breakdown of proteins and peptides. It has endopeptidase activity, meaning it cleaves peptide bonds within the protein chain.

What is the role of cathepsin V in antigen presentation?

A: Cathepsin V plays a crucial role in antigen presentation, as it helps process antigens in the thymus, leading to the production of mature and functional T cells.

What diseases are cathepsin V associated with?

A: Abnormalities in cathepsin V expression or activity may be associated with certain diseases, such as autoimmune disorders, cancers, and inflammatory conditions.
