Ctsg Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including caspase binding activity; heparin binding activity; and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including biofilm matrix disassembly; defense response to bacterium; and regulation of cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to fungus; positive regulation of immune response; and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic stress granule; lysosome; and secretory granule. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CTSG (cathepsin G). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ctsg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
