Source:
Type:
CTSL — Cathepsin L

Primary role: Lysosomal and nuclear cysteine protease; regulator of autophagy, transcriptional programs, and cellular plasticity.

Cancer relevance:
CTSL is linked to high autophagic flux, EMT, and stem-like phenotypes. Beyond lysosomes, CTSL can translocate to the nucleus and influence transcription factor processing, supporting dedifferentiation and invasiveness. It also contributes to ECM remodeling and metastatic dissemination.

Net effect in established cancer:
Strongly pro-tumor, supporting autophagy-dependent survival, EMT, and metastasis.
