UniProt Comments
Asparagine-specific endopeptidase involved in the processing of vacuolar seed protein precursors into the mature forms (PubMed:7579169). Probably involved in post-translational proteolysis of seed storage proteins in the protein storage vacuole of developing seeds (PubMed:14688293).
