Summary
Predicted to enable cysteine-type peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within autophagy and protein transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ATG4C (autophagy related 4C cysteine peptidase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
