The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the
subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. The members of this
family are proprotein convertases that process latent precursor
proteins into their biologically active products. This encoded
protein is a calcium-dependent serine endoprotease. It is
structurally related to its family members, PACE and PACE4. This
protein is concentrated in the trans-Golgi network, associated with
the membranes, and is not secreted. It can process proalbumin and
is thought to be responsible for the activation of HIV envelope
glycoproteins gp160 and gp140. This gene has been implicated in the
transcriptional regulation of housekeeping genes. Multiple
alternatively spliced transcripts are described for this gene but
their full length nature is not yet known. Downstream of this
gene's map location at 11q23-q24, nucleotides that match part of
this gene's 3' end are duplicated and inverted. A translocation
breakpoint associated with lymphoma occurs between this gene and
its inverted counterpart.1) Leonhardt, R.M., et al. J. Immunol. 184(6):2985-2998(2010)
