SPPL2A signal peptide peptidase like 2A

Gene ID: 84888, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IMP3; PSL2; IMD86

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the GXGD family of aspartic proteases, which are transmembrane proteins with two conserved catalytic motifs localized within the membrane-spanning regions, as well as a member of the signal peptide peptidase-like protease (SPPL) family. This protein is expressed in all major adult human tissues and localizes to late endosomal compartments and lysosomal membranes. A pseudogene of this gene also lies on chromosome 15.
