PRSS22
Description
The PRSS22 (serine protease 22) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
This gene encodes a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. The enzyme is expressed in the airways in a developmentally regulated manner. The gene is part of a cluster of serine protease genes on chromosome 16.
This enzyme exhibits a preference for cleaving the synthetic substrate H-D-Leu-Thr-Arg-pNA over tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA.
PRSS22 is also known as BSSP-4, SP001LA, hBSSP-4.
