Function
Closely involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH. May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation (By similarity). Mediates thyroxine liberation by limited proteolysis of thyroglobulin at neutral pH in vitro.
Similarity
Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
