|
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:11491533}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000305}. Note=According to PubMed:11491533, secreted. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed with higher expression in liver and blood. Expressed in differentiated keratinocytes in epidermis and in epithelial cells in dermis. Overexpressed in lesional psoriatic skin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11491533, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19322213}.
