Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; cysteine-type exopeptidase activity; and protein-phosphatidylethanolamide deconjugating activity. Predicted to be involved in macroautophagy and protein processing. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process and protein transport. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ATG4D (autophagy related 4D cysteine peptidase).
