Predicted to enable serine-type carboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactosialidosis. Is an ortholog of human CTSA (cathepsin A).
This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=F13D12.6. Surounding gene organisation=divergent
