Protein attributes

Sequence length	458 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes By similarity.
Enzyme regulation	Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide By similarity.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm Probable.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase C54 family.
