HtrA2 - HTRA2-related serine protease

Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including ectopic germ cell programmed cell death; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and spermatogenesis. Located in Nebenkern; cytosol; and mitochondrial intermembrane space. Is expressed in adult head and organism. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 8; CADASIL (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); macular degeneration (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including HTRA2 (HtrA serine peptidase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
