Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle; gonad morphogenesis; and post-embryonic development. Located in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle extracellular matrix; extracellular space; and yolk granule. Expressed in several structures, including anterior hypodermis; cuticle; intestine; pharynx; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human CTSZ (cathepsin Z).
