Cathepsin O is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CTSO gene. [5] [6]
Cathepsin O is a cysteine protease and a member of the cathepsin family and papain superfamily. This proteolytic enzyme is involved in cellular protein degradation and turnover. The recombinant form of this enzyme was shown to degrade synthetic peptides typically used as substrates for cysteine proteinases, and its proteolytic activity was abolished by an inhibitor of cysteine proteinase.

Stromelysin-3 (SL-3) also known as matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP-11) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP11 gene.
Serpin B4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINB4 gene.
Cystatin-SN is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST1 gene.
Cystatin-M is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST6 gene.
Cystatin-D is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST5 gene.
Cathepsin Z, also called cathepsin X or cathepsin P, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSZ gene. It is a member of the cysteine cathepsin protease family, which has 11 members. As one of the 11 cathepsins, cathepsin Z contains distinctive features from others. Cathepsin Z has been reported involved in cancer malignancy and inflammation.
