| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with highest expression found in non-skeletal tissues. Relatively high levels found in skeletal tissues. Expressed in spleen, B cells, dendritic cells and macrophages. |
| Post Translational Modifications | |
| Function | Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules and MHC class II antigen presentation. The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L. |
