Transmembrane Protease Serine-2 Definition

Expressed in small intestine, prostate, colon, stomach, and salivary gland by human TMPRSS2 Gene (Peptidase S1 Family), 492-aa 54-kDa (precursor) Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 contains a type II transmembrane domain, an LDL-receptor class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domain, and a protease domain. The protease domain is thought to be cleaved, activated, and secreted after autocleavage. (NCI)
