Gene summary

This gene encodes a type II transmembrane serine protease that may be involved in diverse cellular functions, including blood coagulation and the maintenance of cell morphology. Expression of the encoded protein is associated with the growth and progression of cancers, particularly prostate cancer. The protein is cleaved into a catalytic serine protease chain and a non-catalytic scavenger receptor cysteine-rich chain, which associate via a single disulfide bond. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001384133.1. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Serine protease that cleaves extracellular substrates, and contributes to the proteolytic processing of growth factors, such as HGF and MST1/HGFL (PubMed:21875933, PubMed:15839837). Plays a role in cell growth and maintenance of cell morphology (PubMed:8346233, PubMed:21875933). Plays a role in the proteolytic processing of ACE2 (PubMed:24227843). Mediates the proteolytic cleavage of urinary UMOD that is required for UMOD polymerization (PubMed:26673890). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15839837, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21875933, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24227843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26673890, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8346233}.;
