Enables protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including innate immune response; lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of immune response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B-1 B cell differentiation; T cell proliferation; and regulation of T cell receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol. Part of polkadots. Is expressed in nervous system and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 12; lymphoma; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Orthologous to human MALT1 (MALT1 paracaspase).
