enzyme regulation:Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide.,function:Cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase C54 family.,tissue specificity:Mainly expressed in skeletal muscle and, to a lower extent, in testis.,
[Cysteine protease ATG4D]: Cytoplasm .; [Cysteine protease ATG4D, mitochondrial]: Cytoplasm . Mitochondrion matrix . Imported into mitochondrial matrix after cleavage by CASP3 during oxidative stress and cell death. .
Widely expressed in testis.
