Function | Intramembrane-cleaving aspartic protease (I-CLiP) that cleaves type II membrane signal peptides in the hydrophobic plane of the membrane. Functions in FASLG, ITM2B and TNF processing (PubMed:16829952, PubMed:16829951, PubMed:17557115, PubMed:17965014). Catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of the anchored fragment of shed TNF-alpha (TNF), which promotes the release of the intracellular domain (ICD) for signaling to the nucleus (PubMed:16829952). Also responsible for the intramembrane cleavage of Fas antigen ligand FASLG, which promotes the release of the intracellular FasL domain (FasL ICD) (PubMed:17557115). Essential for degradation of the invariant chain CD74 that plays a central role in the function of antigen-presenting cells in the immune system (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity (PubMed:16829952). Catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of the simian foamy virus envelope glycoprotein gp130 independently of prior ectodomain shedding by furin or furin-like proprotein convertase (PC)-mediated cleavage proteolysis (PubMed:23132852). |

Background
By searching sequence databases for homologs of Dictyostelium discoideum Impas, which shares homology with presenilin, followed by PCR of lymphocyte and hippocampus cDNA libraries, Grigorenko et al. (2002) cloned SPPL2a. This protein, which may act as an intramembrane protease, contains an N-terminal protease-associated (PA) domain, several transmembrane regions, a hydrophilic loop, conservative sequences around the first and second aspartate residues, and an invariant PAL motif near the C terminus.
