Transmembrane protease, serine 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TMPRSS2 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] It belongs to the TMPRSS family of proteins, whose members are transmembrane proteins which have a serine protease activity. [ 8 ]
Membrane-bound transcription factor site-2 protease, also known as S2P endopeptidase or site-2 protease (S2P), is an enzyme (EC 3.4.24.85) encoded by the MBTPS2 gene which liberates the N-terminal fragment of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) transcription factors from membranes.
There are four groups of intramembrane proteases, distinguished by their catalytic mechanism: [5]. Metalloproteases: Site-2 protease (S2P) and S2P-like proteases [9]; Aspartyl proteases: this group includes presenilin, the active subunit of gamma secretase [10] [11] and signal peptide peptidases (SPPs) and SPP-like proteases, which are distantly related to presenilin but have opposite membrane ...
Proteases are a class of enzymes that regulate much of what happens in the human body, both inside the cell and out, by cleaving peptide bonds in proteins.Through this activity, they govern the four essential cell functions: differentiation, motility, division and cell death — and activate important extracellular episodes, such as the biochemical cascade effect in blood clotting.
It supports DIA-based profiling of PTMs, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination, new technologies such as Scanning SWATH [36] and dia-PASEF, [37] and can perform library-free analyses (acts as a database search engine). [38] FlashLFQ Open source: FlashLFQ is an ultrafast label-free quantification algorithm for mass-spectrometry proteomics. [39]
Amyloid beta peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein by 2 proteases, one of which is the protein encoded by this gene. This gene localizes to the 'Down critical region' of chromosome 21. The encoded protein, a member of the peptidase A1 protein family, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic ...
Beta-secretase 1, also known as beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1, beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), membrane-associated aspartic protease 2, memapsin-2, aspartyl protease 2, and ASP2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BACE1 gene. [5] Expression of BACE1 is observed mainly in neurons and oligodendrocytes. [6]
PAR2 is activated by several different endogenous and exogenous proteases. It is activated by proteolytic cleavage of its extracellular amino terminus between arginine and serine. [13] The newly exposed N-terminus serves as tethered activation ligand, which binds a conserved region on extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) and activates the receptor. [5]
