| UniProt functional annotation for Q02853 | |||
| UniProt code: Q02853. |
| Organism: | Mus musculus (Mouse). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus. | |
| Function: | May play an important role in the progression of epithelial malignancies. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion per subunit.; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.; | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Specifically expressed in the mammary gland during apoptosis. | |
| Domain: | The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation- peptide release activates the enzyme. | |
| Ptm: | The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
