Transmembrane protease serine 2

From Proteopedia

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.

General function

In terms of normal function, TMPRSS2 has been associated with physiological and patholog�ical processes such as digestion, tissue remodel�ling, blood coagulation, fertility, inflammatory responses, tumour cell invasion, apoptosis and pain. ^[2]
