Cathepsin A is an enzyme that is classified both as a cathepsin and a carboxypeptidase. In humans, it is encoded by the CTSA gene.[4]

Function

This gene encodes a glycoprotein that associates with lysosomal enzymes beta-galactosidase and neuraminidase to form a complex of high-molecular-weight multimers. The formation of this complex provides a protective role for stability and activity. It is protective for β-galactosidase and neuraminidase.[5]

Clinical significance

Deficiencies in this gene are linked to multiple forms of galactosialidosis.[4]

Interactions

Cathepsin A has been shown to interact with NEU1.[6]
