General annotation (Comments)

Function	Serine protease involved in intramembrane proteolysis. Cleaves microneme adhesins, such as MIC2. This step is essential for efficient invasion of host cells. Catalyzes intramembrane proteolysis of AMA1. Ref.2 Ref.3
Catalytic activity	Cleaves type-1 transmembrane domains using a catalytic dyad composed of serine and histidine that are contributed by different transmembrane domains.
Subcellular location	Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Detected primarily at the posterior surface of intracellular tachyzoites. Detected in patches on the cell surface of extracellular tachyzoites. Concentrated at the posterior end of tachyzoites after induction of microneme secretion prior to invasion of host cells. Ref.2
Developmental stage	Highly expressed in tachyzoites. Detected at low levels in bradyzoites and sporozoites. Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase S54 family.
