Thermolysin-like specificity

Hydrolyzes the methyl ester group of cocaine to form benzoylecgonine (PubMed: 7980644)

This gene is a member of the TAFA family which is composed of five highly homologous genes that encode small secreted proteins

Multiple transcript variants expressed from alternate promoters and encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene

The encoded protein binds to phosphoinositides in the plasma membrane via its C-terminal region and probably functions as a membrane-bound transcription regulator that translocates to the nucleus in response to phosphoinositide hydrolysis| for instance| induced by G-protein-coupled-receptor signaling
