MSH: A ubiquitously-expressed cysteine peptidase that exhibits carboxypeptidase activity. It is highly expressed in a variety of immune cell types and may play a role in inflammatory processes and immune responses.,NCI: Cathepsin Z, encoded by the CTSZ Gene, is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase. It exhibits both carboxy-monopeptidase and carboxy-dipeptidase activities. Cathepsin Z has also been known as cathepsin X and cathepsin P. The CTSZ gene is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cell lines and primary tumors and, like other members of this family, may be involved in tumorigenesis. (From LocusLink and NCI)
