background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytosolic prolyl endopeptidase that cleaves peptide bonds on the SLCterminal side of prolyl residues within peptides that are up to approximately 30 amino acids long. Prolyl endopeptidases have been reported to be involved in the maturation and degradation of peptide hormones and neuropeptides. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Cleaves peptide bonds on the SLCterminal side of prolyl residues within peptides that are up to approximately 30 amino acids long.
Tissue Specificity:
Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications:
The N-terminus is blocked.
Similarity:
Belongs to the peptidase S9A family.
