Function | Amidohydrolase that hydrolyzes specifically one of the carboamide linkages in D-pantetheine thus recycling pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and releasing cysteamine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10567687, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11491533}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with higher expression in spleen, kidney and blood. Overexpressed in lesional psoriatic skin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19322213}. |
