| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in the liver, kidney, heart and brain. |
| Post Translational Modifications | |
| Function | Prenylcysteine oxidase that cleaves the thioether bond of prenyl-L-cysteines, such as farnesylcysteine and geranylgeranylcysteine. Only active against free prenylcysteines and not prenylcysteine residues within prenylated proteins or peptides. Involved in the final step in the degradation of prenylated proteins, by degrading prenylcysteines after the protein has been degraded. |
