UniProt functional annotation for P26927

UniProt code: P26927.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Subunit: Dimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain linked by a disulfide bond. Interacts (via beta chain) with MST1R (via SEMA domain). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1827141, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22087277, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9202013}.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Ptm: Cleaved after Arg-483, probably by HPN/Hepsin, to yield the active form consisting of two disulfide-linked chains.
Disease: Note=MST1 variant Cys-689 may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic, relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with a complex etiology. It is unsure whether Cys-689 itself or a variation in linkage disequilibrium with Cys-689 is responsible for the association with IBD. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19079170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20228799}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00274}.
