Gene: [11p155/CTSD] cathepsin D (lysosomal aspartyl protease);
FUN |
Systematic name: not known. Specificity similar to, but narrower than, that of pepsin A. Does not cleave the 4-Gln-|-His-5 bond in B chain of insulin." |
FAG |
[1] The data (Murnane-1985) on the localization a cluster of cathepsin
B, H, and L genes in 11p13-11 were not confirmed, although the
cathepsin D gene appeared to be located in 11p15.5.
