Summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the metallocarboxypeptidase family of proteins that catalyze the release of a C-terminal amino acid from the target protein. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic cleavage to yield the mature form which is thought to play a role in cell migration. In humans, this protein regulates neuropeptides in the brain and mutations in this gene are associated with a recessive familial form of febrile seizures and with temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

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.
