Protein attributes

Sequence length	340 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules. The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L and cathepsin N.
Catalytic activity	Similar to cathepsin L, but with much less activity on Z-Phe-Arg-|-NHMec, and more activity on the Z-Val-Val-Arg-|-Xaa compound.
Subcellular location	Lysosome.
Tissue specificity	Widely expressed with highest expression found in non-skeletal tissues. Relatively high levels found in skeletal tissues. Ref.3
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
