Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in blastocyst formation. Acts upstream of or within protein processing; regulation of cholesterol transport; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; membrane raft; and trans-Golgi network transport vesicle. Predicted to be active in membrane and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human FURIN (furin, paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme).
