Predicted to enable aspartic-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to be located in lysosome. Is an ortholog of several human genes including CTSE (cathepsin E); PGA3 (pepsinogen A3); and PGA5 (pepsinogen A5).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
