Summary: Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including keratinocyte differentiation; negative regulation of peptidase activity; and peptide cross-linking. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cornified envelope; extracellular space; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of peptidase inhibitor complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peeling skin syndrome 4. Orthologous to human CSTA (cystatin A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
