Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The HtpX protease family is comprised of membrane-localized metalloproteases that play a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins. Members of this family are capable of endoproteolytically degrading misfolded or overproduced membrane proteins, such as SecY, at specific cytoplasmic sites. These proteases do not require ATP for their activity, and their natural substrates are yet to be fully identified. The HtpX family is involved in the cellular process of protein turnover, particularly for the removal of damaged or non-functional membrane proteins, thereby maintaining cellular homeostasis.
