| 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}. | |
