Uniprot ID: PRL_HUMAN ; Reactome: R-HSA-1442490 ; Gene ID: 1509

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the aorta extracellular space (at protein level). Expressed in liver (at protein level).

Function: Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. Plays a role in APP processing following cleavage and activation by ADAM30 which leads to APP degradation. Involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as breast cancer and possibly Alzheimer disease.
