GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

NAPSA (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

KAP, Kdap, NAP1, NAPA

Description

Napsin A aspartic peptidase (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The activation peptides of aspartic proteinases plays role as inhibitors of the active site. These peptide segments, or pro-parts, are deemed important for correct folding, targeting, and control of the activation of aspartic proteinase zymogens. The pronapsin A gene is expressed predominantly in lung and kidney. Its translation product is predicted to be a fully functional, glycosylated aspartic proteinase precursor containing an RGD motif and an additional 18 residues at its C-terminus.
