Gene: [15q2/CTSH] cathepsin H;

COM

The HGM Catalogue erroneously indicates EC:3.4.22.6.

FAG

Cathepsin H is assigned to the group of thiol proteinases. Along with other cathepsins (see GEM:08p22/CTSB), it shares homology with plant proteins, such as papain and actinidin."

FUN

Cathepsin H does not have systematic name yet. It catalyzes protein hydrolysis, splitting both internal and N-terminal peptide bonds, i.e. it should be classified as endoaminopeptidase."
