In C.elegans there are 4 genes (cpr-3, cpr-4, cpr-5 and cpr-6) that encode a
cathepsin B-like cysteine proteinase.

I'm looking for more info on these genes/proteins as the original paper cited
in the GenBank entry provided no information at all.

Does anyone know about the function and expression patterns of these genes?

If so I would be very grateful if you could provide me with either information
or suitable references.

Yours hopefully,

Keith Bradnam
