Cathepsin K (P43235)

Uniprot ID P43235
Protein Name Cathepsin K
Gene Name CTSK
Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b)
Function Closely involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH. May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation.

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
