Summary: Predicted to enable serine-type carboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of chaperone-mediated autophagy; proteolysis; and regulation of protein stability. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactosialidosis and lysosomal storage disease. Orthologous to human CTSA (cathepsin A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
