NCIt definition : Transmembrane protease serine 2 (492 aa, 54 kDa) is encoded by the human TMPRSS2
gene. This protein plays a role in proteolysis.;
NCIt note : Transmembrane protease serine 2 contains a type II transmembrane domain, an LDL-receptor
class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domain, and a protease domain.
The protease domain is thought to be cleaved, activated, and secreted after autocleavage.;
