Protein Information
Name	CTSB
Synonyms	CPSB
Function	Thiol protease which is believed to participate in intracellular degradation and turnover of proteins (PubMed:12220505). Cleaves matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein MEPE (PubMed:12220505). 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 (PubMed:3972105).
Cellular Location	Lysosome. Melanosome. Secreted, extracellular space {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:A1E295}. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P10605}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P10605}; Extracellular side {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P10605}. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV (PubMed:17081065) Localizes to the lumen of thyroid follicles and to the apical membrane of thyroid epithelial cells (By similarity) {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P10605, ECO:0000269\|PubMed:17081065}
Tissue Location	Expressed in the stratum spinosum of the epidermis. Weak expression is detected in the stratum granulosum
