NCBI Protein Information
CAAX prenyl protease 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes an endoprotease involved in the cleavage of prenylated CaaX-box proteins. In vitro, it can cleave a farnesylated tetrapeptide and it can promote membrane-localization of a farnesylated GFP:AtROP9 protein when both are expressed in yeast.

UniProt Comments
Proteolytically removes the C-terminal three residues of farnesylated and geranylated proteins. The substrate specificity is only partially overlapping with that of FACE1.
