ZMPSTE24 zinc metallopeptidase STE24

Gene ID: 10269, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HGPS; PRO1; FACE1; RSDM1; STE24; FACE-1; Ste24p

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M48A family. The encoded protein is a zinc metalloproteinase involved in the two step post-translational proteolytic cleavage of carboxy terminal residues of farnesylated prelamin A to form mature lamin A. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mandibuloacral dysplasia and restrictive dermopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
