Disease

CATK_HUMAN Defects in CTSK are the cause of pycnodysostosis (PKND) [MIM:265800. PKND is an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Function

CATK_HUMAN Closely involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH. May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation.
