Description

Predicted to have serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in central nervous system development and neurogenesis. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; integument; liver; notochord; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypercholesterolemia and hypobetalipoproteinemia. Orthologous to human PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9).
