Function | Thiol protease 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. Involved in the release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen. |
Cellular Location | Lysosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P43235}. Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P43235}. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P43235}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P43235}; Extracellular side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P43235}. Note=Localizes to the lumen of thyroid follicles and to the apical membrane of thyroid epithelial cells {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P43235} |

Background
Cathepsin family of proteases contains several diverse classes of enzymes. The cysteine protease class comprises cathepsin B, H, K, L, O, and S. The aspartyl protease class contains cathepsin D and E. Cathepsin G belongs to the serine protease class. Cathepsins are involved in various cellular events such as peptide biosynthesis, protein degradation, and apoptosis. Cathepsin K expression is highest in bone, cartilage, and skeletal muscle.
