Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables peptide binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including embryo implantation; embryonic digestive tract development; and signaling receptor ligand precursor processing. Acts upstream of or within cardiac septum development; coronary vasculature development; and determination of left/right symmetry. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study VACTERL association; primary ciliary dyskinesia; and visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human PCSK5 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5).
