Function

[VPEG_ARATH] Asparagine-specific endopeptidase involved in the processing of vacuolar seed protein precursors into the mature forms (PubMed:10417725). Probably involved in post-translational proteolysis of seed storage proteins in the protein storage vacuole of developing seeds (PubMed:14688293).^{[1] [2]}
