physiological function	cathepsin X plays an important role in the pathogenes of atherosclerosis. It aids in the migration of T-lymphocytes and the release of cytokines. Cathepsin X may aid in the migration of immune cells within the lesion and is predominately implicated in T-lymphocyte signaling and secretion of cytokines that stimulate the proliferation of smooth muscle cells. It may also play a role in localizing inflammatory cells to the shoulder of unstable plaques	Homo sapiens
