CTSK is active mainly in the early stages of adipogenesis

in the macrophage-rich regions of atherosclerotic plaques

-
it is shown by fluorescence microscopy of plaque sections from using human carotid endarterectomy specimens that enzymatically active CatK (positive NIRF signal) localizes primarily in the vicinity of CatK-positive macrophages. Augmented NIRF signal (reflecting CatK activity) colocalizes with disrupted elastin fibers within the media underlying plaques

immunostaining reveals strong catK expression in most primary melanomas and all cutaneous melanoma metastases. Melanocytic nevi also demonstrates catK expression, but it is less intense than in melanomas. Melanoma lines express both the pro- and the active form of catK
