Taxonomic lineage

Eukaryota › Metazoa › Chordata › Craniata › Vertebrata › Euteleostomi › Archosauria › Dinosauria › Saurischia › Theropoda › Coelurosauria › Aves › Neognathae › Galliformes › Phasianidae › Phasianinae › Gallus

Protein attributes

Sequence length	398 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. In chicken it is a key enzyme for yolk formation as it is capable of catalyzing intra oocytic break down of protein components of both vitellogenin and VLDL.
Catalytic activity	Specificity similar to, but narrower than, that of pepsin A. Does not cleave the 4-Gln-|-His-5 bond in B chain of insulin.
Subunit structure	Consists of a light chain and a heavy chain.
Subcellular location	Lysosome.
Tissue specificity	Oocytic yolk, preovulatory follicles, liver.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
