Protein Information
Description
Protein function:
Thiol protease. Has dipeptidylpeptidase activity. Can act as both an exopeptidase and endopeptidase. Activates serine proteases such as elastase, cathepsin g and granzymes a and b. Can also activate neuraminidase and Factor XIII.
Catalytic activity:
Release of an N-terminal dipeptide, xaa-yaa-|-zaa-, except when xaa is arg or lys, or yaa or zaa is pro.
Subunit:
Tetramer of heterotrimers consisting of exclusion domain, heavy- and light chains.
Subcellular location:
Lysosome
Post-translational modification:
N-glycosylated
Cofactor:
Binds 1 chloride ion per heavy chain.
Induction:
Up-regulated in lymphocytes by Il2.
Tissue specificity:
Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in lung, kidney and placenta. Detected at intermediate levels in colon, small intestine, spleen and pancreas.
Similarity:
Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
