Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Chymotrypsin C, also known as caldecrin or elastase 4, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CTRCgene.
Function
Chymotrypsin C is a member of the peptidase S1 family. The encoded protein is a serum calcium-decreasing factor that has chymotrypsin-like protease activity.
