Structural highlights
Disease[CATK_HUMAN] Defects in CTSK are the cause of pycnodysostosis (PKND) [MIM:265800]. PKND is an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature.[1] [2] [3] [4] Function[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. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedPyrrolopyrimidine, a novel scaffold, allows to adjust interactions within the S3 subsite of cathepsin K. The core intermediate 10 facilitated the P3 optimization and identified highly potent and selective cathepsin K inhibitors 11-20. Novel scaffold for cathepsin K inhibitors.,Teno N, Miyake T, Ehara T, Irie O, Sakaki J, Ohmori O, Gunji H, Matsuura N, Masuya K, Hitomi Y, Nonomura K, Horiuchi M, Gohda K, Iwasaki A, Umemura I, Tada S, Kometani M, Iwasaki G, Cowan-Jacob SW, Missbach M, Lattmann R, Betschart C Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 15;17(22):6096-100.
