GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TMPRSS4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MT-SP2, TMPRSS3
Description
Transmembrane protease, serine 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the serine protease family. Serine proteases are known to be involved in a variety of biological processes, whose malfunction often leads to human diseases and disorders. This gene was identified as a gene overexpressed in pancreatic carcinoma. The encoded protein is membrane bound with a N-terminal anchor sequence and a glycosylated extracellular region containing the serine protease domain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
