| Comments |
This trypsin-like integral-membrane serine peptidase has been implicated in breast cancer invasion and metastasis [1,2]. The enzyme can activate hepatocyte growth factor/scattering factor (HGF/SF) by cleavage of the two-chain form at an Arg residue to give active ¦Á- and ¦Â-HGF, but it does not activate plasminogen, which shares high homology with HGF [1]. The enzyme can also activate urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), which initiates the matrix-degrading peptidase cascade [1,2]. Belongs in peptidase family?S1A. |
