cpl-1 encodes a member of the cathepsin L-like cysteine protease family required for embryonic viability and normal growth; expressed in eggshells and throughout early embryos, accumulates in intestinal cells during late embryogenesis, and expressed in the cuticle, gonad, and pharynx later in development.
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including lipid droplet disassembly; positive regulation of vitellogenesis; and regulation of apoptosis involved in tissue homeostasis. Located in several cellular components, including lysosome; vesicle lumen; and yolk granule. Expressed in several structures, including cuticle; eggshell; hermaphrodite gonad; pharynx; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human CTSL (cathepsin L).
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.
