Summary | This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the metallocarboxypeptidase family of proteins that catalyze the release of a C-terminal amino acid from the target protein. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic cleavage to yield the mature form which is thought to play a role in cell migration. In humans, this protein regulates neuropeptides in the brain and mutations in this gene are associated with a recessive familial form of febrile seizures and with temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]. |
