UniProt Comments
Trypsin-like serine endopeptidase involved in the processing of glyoxysomal higher molecular weight precursor. The dimeric form carries out the specific cleavages needed to remove PTS2-containing presequences, whereas the monomeric form degrades the removed presequences and misfolded proteins (Probable). Not required for degradation of glyoxylate cycle enzymes during seedling development.
