Function edit

This gene is a member of the signal peptide peptidase-like protease (SPPL) family and encodes a lysosomal/late endosomal membrane protein[6] with the conserved active site motifs 'YD' and 'GxGD' in adjacent transmembrane domains (TMDs). This protein plays a role in innate and adaptive immunity by cleaving TNFα in activated dendritic cells.[7][8] A pseudogene of this gene also lies on chromosome 15.[5]
