关于 CTSW

功能概要

由该基因编码的蛋白质是肽酶 C1 家族的成员，是一种半胱氨酸蛋白酶，可能在 T 细胞细胞溶解活性的机制或调节中具有特定功能。发现编码的蛋白质与自然杀伤细胞和细胞毒性 T 细胞的内质网内膜相关。该基因的表达受白介素 2 上调。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a cysteine proteinase that may have a specific function in the mechanism or regulation of T-cell cytolytic activity. The encoded protein is found associated with the membrane inside the endoplasmic reticulum of natural killer and cytotoxic T-cells. Expression of this gene is up-regulated by interleukin-2.
