CTSD encodes a member of the A1 family of peptidases.
The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products.
These products include the cathepsin D light and heavy chains, which heterodimerize to form the mature enzyme.
Cathepsin D exhibits pepsin-like activity and plays a role in protein turnover and in the proteolytic activation of hormones and growth factors.
Mutations in CTSD play a causal role in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-10 and may be involved in the pathogenesis of several other diseases, including breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer's disease.
