PRSS21 - serine protease 21 Gene
Also Known as ESP1; ESP-1; TEST1; TESTISIN
Species: Homo sapiens
About PRSS21
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 182 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 26.0), bone marrow (RPKM 4.4) and 4 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a cell-surface anchored serine protease, which is a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. The encoded protein is predicted to be active on peptide linkages involving the carboxyl group of lysine or arginine. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane of premeiotic testicular germ cells and may be involved in progression of testicular tumors of germ cell origin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
