The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine
proteinase and member of the peptidase C1 family. It exhibits both
carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. The
encoded protein has also been known as cathepsin X and cathepsin P.
This gene is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and
primary tumors and, like other members of this family, may be
involved in tumorigenesis.1) Starr, J.M., et al. Mech. Ageing Dev. 129(12):745-751(2008)
