Summary
Enables carboxypeptidase activity and dipeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within folic acid-containing compound metabolic process and proteolysis. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and submandibular gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in abdominal aortic aneurysm and cerebral infarction. Orthologous to several human genes including FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
