Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable aspartic-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Located in cytoplasm and external side of apical plasma membrane. Expressed in intestinal cell and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); chronic fatigue syndrome; and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Is an ortholog of human PGC (progastricsin) and REN (renin).
