catalytic activity:The recombinant enzyme hydrolyzes proteins (serum albumin, collagen) and synthetic substrates (Z-Phe-Arg-NHMec > Z-Leu-Arg-NHMec > Z-Val-Arg-NHMec).,function:Cysteine protease. May have an important role in corneal physiology.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.,tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in the thymus and testis. Also expressed in corneal epithelium, and to a lesser extent in conjuctival epithelium and skin.,
