Caenorhabditis elegans Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron development; positive regulation of developmental process; and protein processing. Located in neuronal cell body. Expressed in several structures, including PVD; epithelial cell; nervous system; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis; colon adenocarcinoma; and colorectal adenocarcinoma. Is an ortholog of human FURIN (furin, paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme).
