Summary: Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within basement membrane organization; chordate embryonic development; and establishment or maintenance of cell polarity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital secretory sodium diarrhea 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital secretory sodium diarrhea 3. Orthologous to human SPINT2 (serine peptidase inhibitor, Kunitz type 2).

What's a GeneRIF?

matriptase is a causative agent in the development of congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE) and may provide a new target for the treatment of CTE in individuals carrying SPINT2 mutation
Title: Matriptase drives early-onset intestinal failure in a mouse model of congenital tufting enteropathy.
Hai-2 is an essential protease inhibitor for epithelial integrity, Epcam homeostasis and mucosal organization of the intestinal tract.
Title: Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-2 stabilizes Epcam and maintains epithelial organization in the mouse intestine.
Intestines of HAI-2 deficient mice showed altered expression of epithelial junctional proteins, including reduced levels of EpCAM, E-cadherin, occludin, claudin-1 and -7, as well as an increased level of claudin-4, indicating that the loss of HAI-2 compromises intestinal epithelial barrier function.
Title: Loss of HAI-2 in mice with decreased prostasin activity leads to an early-onset intestinal failure resembling congenital tufting enteropathy.
HAI-1 regulates the activity of activated matriptase, whereas HAI-2 has an essential role in regulating prostasin-dependent matriptase zymogen activation.
Title: The protease inhibitor HAI-2, but not HAI-1, regulates matriptase activation and shedding through prostasin.
mutations in Prss8 restored placentation and normal development of HAI-1-deficient embryos and prevented early embryonic lethality, mid-gestation lethality due to placental labyrinth failure, and neural tube defects in HAI-2-deficient embryos.
Title: Reduced prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) activity eliminates HAI-1 and HAI-2 deficiency-associated developmental defects by preventing matriptase activation.
HAI-1 and -2 are overexpressed in the liver in cholangiopathies with ductular reactions and are possibly involved in liver fibrosis and hepatic differentiation.
Title: Persistent elevation of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitors in cholangiopathies affects liver fibrosis and differentiation.
Inhibition of the transmembrane serine protease matriptase (encoded by St14) is an essential function of HAI2 during tissue morphogenesis.
Title: Regulation of cell surface protease matriptase by HAI2 is essential for placental development, neural tube closure and embryonic survival in mice.
Unlike HAI-1 and matriptase, HAI-2 expression is detected in non-epithelial cells of brain and lymph nodes, suggesting that HAI-2 may also be involved in inhibition of serine proteases other than matriptase
Title: Potent inhibition and global co-localization implicate the transmembrane Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-2 in the regulation of epithelial matriptase activity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001076017.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon, in the 5' coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform b), compared to isoform a.
