The protein encoded by CTSL is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that plays a major role in intracellular protein catabolism. Its substrates include collagen and elastin, as well as alpha-1 protease inhibitor, a major controlling element of neutrophil elastase activity. The encoded protein(cathepsin L) has been implicated in several pathologic processes, including myofibril necrosis in myopathies and in myocardial ischemia, and in the renal tubular response to proteinuria. cathepsin L, which is a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a dimer composed of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for CTSL.蛋白別名為：CTSL1; CTSL; Cathepsin L1; Major excreted protein; MEP;基因ID為：1514；蛋白質ID:P07711
