| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Cleaves various synthetic substrates with Arg or Lys at the P1 position and prefers small side-chain amino acids, such as Ala and Gly, at the P2 position |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This trypsin-like integral-membrane serine peptidase has been
implicated in breast cancer invasion and metastasis.
- Can activate hepatocyte growth factor/scattering factor (HGF/SF) by
cleavage of the two-chain form at an Arg residue to give active
alpha- and beta-HGF, but it does not activate plasminogen, which
shares high homology with HGF.
- Can also activate urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), which
initiates the matrix-degrading peptidase cascade.
- Belongs to peptidase family S1A.
