Description

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