Usage
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
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.

the present study identified icariin as a novel therapeutic agent in DXM-induced cartilage injury in rats, and revealed that the activation of miR-206 targeting of cathepsin K may be responsible for the chondroprotective efficacy of icariinPMID:29207029
cathepsin K, in both its secreted and lysosomal forms, may play a role in the degradation of Sertoli cell residual bodiesPMID:14585819
In conclusion, according to its ability to modulate hypotensive effects of kinins, we propose that cathepsin K is a kininase of biological relevance.PMID:17181996
Comparison of the S2 site between rat and human cathepsin K sequences indicated that two S2 residues at Ser134 and Val160 in rat are varied to Ala and Leu, respectively, in the human enzyme.PMID:18664521
