Function
UFSP_CAEEL Thiol protease which recognizes and hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the C-terminal Gly of ufm-1, a ubiquitin-like modifier protein bound to a number of target proteins (By similarity). Required, with oct-4, for the localization of a subset of 7 transmembrane domain odorant receptors, including odr-10, to the cilia of olfactory neurons AWA and AWC. Operates in aggregation behavior, and responses to oxygen levels.[UniProtKB:Q9NUQ7][1] [2] [3]
