Protein attributes

Sequence length458 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceEvidence 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.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm Probable.

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, liver and testis. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase C54 family.

Sequence caution

The sequence BAB55356.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 420.
