Summary: Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; neuron differentiation; and open tracheal system development. Located in Golgi apparatus; apical part of cell; and late endosome membrane. Is integral component of Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm anlage; epithelium; extended germ band embryo; ommatidium; and thoracic segment. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Orthologous to human RHBDL1 (rhomboid like 1) and RHBDL3 (rhomboid like 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
