Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cochlea morphogenesis; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol homeostasis; negative regulation of alkaline phosphatase activity; and sensory perception of sound. Located in cell-cell junction; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability. Orthologous to human HPN (hepsin).
