Plays a role in integrin signaling; Belongs to the protease inhibitor I35 [...] (205 aa)
Spock3Testican-3; May participate in diverse steps of neurogenesis. Inhibits the processing of pro-matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) by MT1-MMP and MT3-MMP. May interfere with tumor invasion (By similarity). (436 aa)
Capn11Calpain-11; Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyzes limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction; Belongs to the peptidase C2 family. (714 aa)
FurinFurin; Ubiquitous endoprotease within constitutive secretory pathways capable of cleavage at the RX(K/R)R consensus motif. Mediates processing of TGFB1, an essential step in TGF-beta-1 activation. Belongs to the peptidase S8 family. Furin subfamily. (793 aa)
OptcOpticin; Inhibits angiogenesis in the vitreous humor of the eye, and therefore represses neovascularization. Binds collagen fibrils (By similarity). May be involved in collagen fiber organization via regulation of other members of the small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan superfamily. (381 aa)
CtsdCathepsin D; Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Plays a role in APP processing following cleavage and activation by ADAM30 which leads to APP degradation; Belongs to the peptidase A1 family. (410 aa)
Phykpl5-phosphohydroxy-L-lysine phospho-lyase; Catalyzes the pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent breakdown of 5- phosphohydroxy-L-lysine, converting it to ammonia, inorganic phosphate and 2-aminoadipate semialdehyde; Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. (467 aa)
Col6a5Collagen alpha-5(VI) chain; Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein. (2640 aa)
Capn15Calpain-15; Belongs to the peptidase C2 family. (1196 aa)
Adamts4A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4; Cleaves aggrecan, a cartilage proteoglycan, and may be involved in its turnover. May play an important role in the destruction of aggrecan in arthritic diseases. Cleaves aggrecan at the '392-Glu-|- Ala-393' site (By similarity). (845 aa)
CtslCathepsin L1 heavy chain; Thiol protease important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes (Probable). Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin and in the subsequent release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen. Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. (334 aa)
Tpsb2Tryptase beta-2; Tryptase is the major neutral protease present in mast cells and is secreted upon the coupled activation-degranulation response of this cell type. Plays a role in innate immunity. (276 aa)
