Cathepsin F is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSF gene.[5][6][7]

N-glycosylation sites, and it may be targeted to the endosomal/lysosomal compartment via the mannose 6-phosphate receptor pathway. The cathepsin F gene is ubiquitously expressed, and it maps to chromosome 11q13, close to the gene encoding cathepsin W.[7]

In non-human species

Immunodiagnosis of Opisthorchis viverrini

Opisthorchis viverrini, a parasite, is typically detected by stool examination, specifically by counting eggs. However, this non-invasive, "gold standard" method can be unreliable in light infection and labor-intensive. An ELISA assay that detects the presense of the parasite's cathepsin F protein may be used as an alternative way to test for the parasite's presence.[8]

Discovery in Yesso scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis)

The Yesso scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis), was found in 2018 to express Cathepsin F in response to bacterial infection. The Yesso scallop has been suffering from high mortality due to bacterial diseases. Understanding the workings of its innate immune system, in various embryonic developmental stages, may help the associated aquaculture industry.[9]
