UniProt functional annotation for P08176

UniProt code: P08176.

Organism: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (European house dust mite).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Chelicerata; Arachnida; Acari; Acariformes; Sarcoptiformes; Astigmata; Psoroptidia; Analgoidea; Pyroglyphidae; Dermatophagoidinae; Dermatophagoides.
 
Function: Thiol protease, with a preference for substrates with a large hydrophobic side chain in the P2 position, or with basic residues.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Broad endopeptidase specificity.; EC=3.4.22.65;
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Ptm: N-glycosylated. N-glycanase treatment does not completely remove carbohydrates, suggesting that the protein contains additional glycosylation sites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16148130}.
Allergen: Causes an allergic reaction in human. Common symptoms of mite allergy are bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Binds to IgE in 80% of patients with house dust allergy.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10088, ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10089, ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10090}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA28296.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
