This enzyme regulates the cellular level of retinoic acid which is involved in regulation of gene expression in both embryonic and adult tissues

CD58 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul[BT-AP01910] Metabolic enzymes The encoded protein is foundCTSD encodes a member of the A1 family of peptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the cathepsin D light and heavy chains, which heterodimerize to form the mature enzyme. Cathepsin D exhibits pepsin like activity and plays a role in protein turnover and in the proteolytic activation of hormones and growth factors. Mutations in CTSD play a causal role in neuronal
