UniProt functional annotation for P25774

UniProt code: P25774.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules and MHC class II antigen presentation (PubMed:30612035). The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30612035}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Similar to cathepsin L, but with much less activity on Z-Phe- Arg-|-NHMec, and more activity on the Z-Val-Val-Arg-|-Xaa compound.; EC=3.4.22.27;
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17469812}.
Subcellular location: Lysosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1377692}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9524075}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30612035}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10088, ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10089, ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10090}.
