Target
-
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. -
Tissue specificity
Predominantly expressed in osteclasts (bones). -
Involvement in disease
Defects in CTSK are the cause of pycnodysostosis (PKND) [MIM:265800]. PKND is an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. -
Cellular localization
Lysosome. - Information by UniProt

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Cathepsin K antibody (ab188604)
Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded Human thyroid tissue labeling Cathepsin K with ab188604 at 5 μg/ml. After incubation with the primary antibody, slides were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody, followed by alkaline phosphatase-streptavidin and chromogen.
