F13D12.6 is orthologous to the human gene SIMILAR TO PROTECTIVE PROTEIN FOR BETA-GALACTOSIDASE (GALACTOSIALIDOSIS) (PPGB; OMIM:256540), which when mutated leads to disease.
Predicted to enable serine-type carboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactosialidosis. Is an ortholog of human CTSA (cathepsin A).
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.
