Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of programmed cell death and proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within collagen catabolic process. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Used to study hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prolidase deficiency. Orthologous to human PEPD (peptidase D).
