Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatitis. Orthologous to several human genes including PRSS3P2 (PRSS3 pseudogene 2); PRSS1 (serine protease 1); and PRSS2 (serine protease 2).
