One of several nuclear-encoded ClpPs (caseinolytic protease). Contains a highly conserved catalytic triad of Ser-type proteases (Ser-His-Asp). The name reflects nomenclature described in Adam et. al (2001). The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins (By similarity).
