Official Full Name: cathepsin E
Also known as: CATE
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase A1 family. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. At least one of these variants encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to produce the mature enzyme. This enzyme is an aspartic endopeptidase that may be involved in antigen processing and maturation of secreted proteins. This gene is elevated in neurodegenerative diseases.
