TMPRSS2, as a serine protease, cleaves peptide bonds present after positively charged residues (lysine or arginine). The main player in the catalytic mechanism is the catalytic triad formed by His296, Asp345, and Ser441. This three aminoacids are located in the active site of the enzyme. <ref>DOI 10.1073/pnas.87.17.6659</ref>

TMPRSS2 is a membrane protein belonging to the type II transmembrane serine protease (TTSP) family. It is functionally classified as a trypsin-like protease (TLP). [1] Serine proteases are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes.
