Description

PM20D1 encodes a member of the M20 peptidase family, characterized by a conserved M20 domain. The enzyme catalyzes the condensation of primary amines with fatty acids to form N-acyl amino acids, and also exhibits hydrolase activity. It is involved in thermogenesis and energy metabolism, particularly in brown adipose tissue.

Protein Summary

PM20D1 is a 42 kDa protein containing a peptidase M20 domain. It catalyzes the reversible condensation of fatty acids with amino acids to produce N-acyl amino acids, which act as signaling molecules in energy homeostasis. The protein is localized in the cytoplasm and is highly expressed in brown adipose tissue.
