This gene encodes a cysteine protease that has a strict
specificity for hydrolysis of asparaginyl bonds. This enzyme may be
involved in the processing of bacterial peptides and endogenous
proteins for MHC class II presentation in the lysosomal/endosomal
systems. Enzyme activation is triggered by acidic pH and appears to
be autocatalytic. Protein expression occurs after monocytes
differentiate into dendritic cells. A fully mature, active enzyme
is produced following lipopolysaccharide expression in mature
dendritic cells. Overexpression of this gene may be associated with
the majority of solid tumor types. This gene has a pseudogene on
chromosome 13. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants
have been described, but the biological validity of only two has
been determined. These two variants encode the same isoform.1) Clerin, V., et al. Atherosclerosis 201(1):53-66(2008)
