PRSS8 - serine protease 8 Gene
Also Known as CAP1; PROSTASIN
Species: Homo sapiens
About PRSS8
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants) and 105 orthologues. Broad expression in small intestine (RPKM 73.7), colon (RPKM 73.6) and 14 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 or chymotrypsin family of serine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that associate via a disulfide bond to form the heterodimeric enzyme. This enzyme is highly expressed in prostate epithelia and is one of several proteolytic Enzymes found in seminal fluid. This protease exhibits trypsin-like substrate specificity, cleaving protein substrates at the carboxyl terminus of lysine or arginine residues. The encoded protease partially mediates proteolytic activation of the epithelial Sodium Channel, a regulator of sodium balance, and may also play a role in epithelial barrier formation.
