Summary: Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process and cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel remodeling; protein catabolic process; and trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
