Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including elastin catabolic process; pancreas development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CELA1 (chymotrypsin like elastase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
