Protein attributes

Sequence length	367 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Cysteine protease that cleaves specifically after arginine or lysine residues. Does not cleave caspase-specific substrates. May be involved in the modulation of programmed cell death activated by oxidative stress. Ref.4
Post-translational modification	Proteolytically processed; by an autocatalytic mechanism.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase C14B family.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAC24380.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
