Protein: Cathepsin E (EC 3.4.23.34) (P16228)
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: May have a role in immune function. Probably involved in the processing of antigenic peptides during MHC class II-mediated antigen presentation. May play a role in activation-induced lymphocyte depletion in the thymus, and in neuronal degeneration and glial cell activation in the brain (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8491674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9572291}. Note=The proenzyme is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, while the mature enzyme is localized to the endosome.
InterPro domains:
- IPR033121: Peptidase family A1 domain (domain) [79-396]
- IPR001461: Aspartic peptidase A1 (family) [17-394]
