Acts as a functional tumor suppressor in gastric cancer via activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. An elevated level of CNDP2 activates the p38 and JNK MAPK pathways to induce cell apoptosis, and a lower level of CNDP2 activates the ERK MAPK pathway to promote cell proliferation (PubMed:24395568). Isoform 2 may play a role as tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells (PubMed:17121880). Catalyzes the production of N- lactoyl-amino acids from lactate and amino acids by reverse proteolysis (PubMed:25964343). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17121880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19346245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24395568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25964343}. |M20 dimer| |Peptidase M20| |alanylglutamate dipeptidase activity| |cytosolic dipeptidase activity| |glutathione biosynthetic process| |carboxypeptidase activity| |nonribosomal peptide biosynthetic process| |cellular modified amino acid biosynthetic process| |glutathione metabolic process| |metallopeptidase activity| |sulfur compound biosynthetic process| |cellular modified amino acid metabolic process| |cofactor biosynthetic process| |sulfur compound metabolic process| |peptide biosynthetic process| |cofactor metabolic process| |amide biosynthetic process| |peptide metabolic process| |cellular amide metabolic process| |proteolysis| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
