Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

CtseCathepsin E; May have a role in immune function. Probably involved in the processing of antigenic peptides during MHC class II-mediated antigen presentation. May play a role in activation-induced lymphocyte depletion in the thymus, and in neuronal degeneration and glial cell activation in the brain (By similarity). (398 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ctsb
Cathepsin B heavy chain; Thiol protease which is believed to participate in intracellular degradation and turnover of proteins. Cleaves matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein MEPE (By similarity). Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen (By similarity). Has also been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis (By similarity). Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
   
 0.827
Ctsz
Cathepsin Z; Exhibits carboxy-monopeptidase as well as carboxy-dipeptidase activity. Capable of producing kinin potentiating peptides ; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
   
 0.799
Ctss
Cathepsin S; Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules. The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L (By similarity). May be involved in thyroid hormone biosynthesis. Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
   
 0.790
Ctsa
Carboxypeptidase; Belongs to the peptidase S10 family.
   
 0.786
Ctsg
Cathepsin G.
   
 0.763
Ctsh
Cathepsin H heavy chain; Important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
   
 0.751
Atp6ap2
Renin receptor extracellular fragment; Multifunctional protein which functions as a renin, prorenin cellular receptor and is involved in the assembly of the proton- transporting vacuolar (V)-ATPase protein pump. May mediate renin- dependent cellular responses by activating ERK1 and ERK2. By increasing the catalytic efficiency of renin in AGT/angiotensinogen conversion to angiotensin I, it may also play a role in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) (By similarity). Probably by controlling the assembly of the V- ATPase pump and thus the acidification of the endo-lysosomal system, plays a [...]
   
  0.739
Ctsc
Dipeptidyl peptidase 1 exclusion domain chain; Thiol protease. Has dipeptidylpeptidase activity. Can act as both an exopeptidase and endopeptidase (By similarity).
   
 0.705
Cpa3
Mast cell carboxypeptidase A.
   
 
 0.692
Cma1
Chymase; Major secreted protease of mast cells with suspected roles in vasoactive peptide generation, extracellular matrix degradation, and regulation of gland secretion; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Granzyme subfamily.
   
 0.675
