Summary: Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle; gonad morphogenesis; and post-embryonic body morphogenesis. Located in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle extracellular matrix; extracellular space; and yolk granule. Is expressed in several structures, including cuticle; hypodermal cell; intestine; pharynx; and vulva. Orthologous to human CTSZ (cathepsin Z). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
