    Summary
    Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and protein-phosphatidylethanolamide deconjugating activity. Predicted to be involved in macroautophagy; protein delipidation; and protein processing. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ATG4C (autophagy related 4C cysteine peptidase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
