== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CATK_HUMAN CATK_HUMAN] Defects in CTSK are the cause of pycnodysostosis (PKND) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/265800 265800]. PKND is an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature.<ref>PMID:8703060</ref> <ref>PMID:9529353</ref> <ref>PMID:10491211</ref> <ref>PMID:10878663</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CATK_HUMAN CATK_HUMAN] Closely involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH. May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Cathepsin K is a lysosomal cysteine protease belonging to the papain superfamily. It has been implicated as a major mediator of osteoclastic bone resorption. Wild-type human procathepsin K has been crystallized in a glycosylated and a deglycosylated form. The latter crystals diffract better, to 3.2 A resolution, and contain four molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined to an R-factor of 0.194. The N-terminal fragment of the proregion forms a globular domain while the C-terminal segment is extended and shows substantial flexibility. The proregion interacts with the enzyme along the substrate binding groove and along the proregion binding loop (residues Ser138-Asn156). It binds to the active site in the opposite direction to that of natural substrates. The overall binding mode of the proregion to cathepsin K is similar to that observed in cathepsin L, caricain, and cathepsin B, but there are local differences that likely contribute to the specificity of these proregions for their cognate enzymes. The main observed difference is in the position of the short helix alpha3p (67p-75p), which occupies the S' subsites. As in the other proenzymes, the proregion utilizes the S2 subsite for anchoring by placing a leucine side chain there, according to the specificity of cathepsin K toward its substrate.
