UniProt functional annotation for P05981

UniProt code: P05981.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
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}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Cleavage after basic amino-acid residues, with Arg strongly preferred to Lys.; EC=3.4.21.106; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15839837, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21875933, ECO:0000305|PubMed:26673890};
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1885621}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1885621}. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26673890}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue specificity: Detected in liver and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21875933}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00274}.
