FACE-1, HGPS, PRO1, STE24, Ste24p
Description
Zinc metallopeptidase STE24 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M48A family. The encoded protein is a zinc metalloproteinase involved in the two step post-translational proteolytic cleavage of carboxy terminal residues of farnesylated prelamin A to form mature lamin A. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mandibuloacral dysplasia and restrictive dermopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
