Function | Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease. |
Subcellular Location | Lysosome. Melanosome. Secreted, extracellular space. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. In aortic samples, detected as an extracellular protein loosely bound to the matrix (PubMed:20551380). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20551380}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the aorta extrcellular space (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20551380}. |
Top Pathways | Lysosome, Tuberculosis, Sphingolipid signaling pathway |
