Precautions | TMPRSS2 (CT) Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | TMPRSS2 (HGNC:11876) |
---|---|
Synonyms | PRSS10 |
Function | Plasma membrane-anchored serine protease that cleaves at arginine residues (PubMed:32703818, PubMed:35676539, PubMed:37990007, PubMed:38964328). Participates in proteolytic cascades of relevance for the normal physiologic function of the prostate (PubMed:25122198). Androgen-induced TMPRSS2 activates several substrates that include pro- hepatocyte growth factor/HGF, the protease activated receptor-2/F2RL1 or matriptase/ST14 leading to extracellular matrix disruption and metastasis of prostate cancer cells (PubMed:15537383, PubMed:25122198, PubMed:26018085). In addition, activates trigeminal neurons and contribute to both spontaneous pain and mechanical allodynia (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in several tissues that comprise large populations of epithelial cells with the highest level of transcripts measured in the prostate gland. Expressed in type II pneumocytes in the lung (at protein level). Expressed strongly in small intestine. Also expressed in colon, stomach and salivary gland. Coexpressed with ACE2 within lung type II pneumocytes, ileal absorptive enterocytes, intestinal epithelial cells, cornea, gallbladder and nasal goblet secretory cells (Ref.21). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11169526, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20382709, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21325420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32404436, ECO:0000269|Ref.21} |

Background
TMPRSS2 Antibody: TMPRSS2 is a plasma membrane-anchored serine protease that participates in proteolytic cascades of relevance for the normal physiologic function of the prostate. Androgen-induced TMPRSS2 activates several substrates that include pro-hepatocyte growth factor/HGF, the protease activated receptor-2/F2RL1 or matriptase/ST14 leading to extracellular matrix disruption and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. It facilitates human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections via two independent mechanisms, proteolytic cleavage of ACE2 receptor which promotes viral uptake, and cleavage of coronavirus spike glycoproteins which activates the glycoprotein for host cell entry. It proteolytically cleaves and activates the spike glycoproteins of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and human coronavirus EMC (HCoV-EMC) and the fusion glycoproteins F0 of Sendai virus (SeV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human parainfluenza 1, 2, 3, 4a and 4b viruses (HPIV). TMPRSS2 is essential for spread and pathogenesis of influenza A virus (strains H1N1, H3N2 and H7N9), and it is involved in proteolytic cleavage and activation of hemagglutinin (HA) protein which is essential for viral infectivity.
