Description: The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the peptidase C1 family, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that may play an important role in corneal physiology. This gene is expressed in colorectal and breast carcinomas but not in normal colon, mammary gland, or peritumoral tissues, suggesting a possible role for this gene in tumor processes. Alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Cathepsin V (CTSV) is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase which belongs to peptidase C1 family. It is expressed in normal human thymus, testis and corneal epithelium. Cathepsin V plays an important role in corneal physiology and mediates degradation of invariant chain in human thymus. Besides, Retinoblastoma Protein 1 (RB1) has been identified as an interactor of CTSV, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human CTSV and recombinant human RB1. Briefly, CTSV were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 µl were then transferred to RB1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-CTSV pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37C. Finally, add 50 µl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of CTSV and RB1 was in a dose dependent manner.
