PRSS57 serine protease 57

Gene ID: 400668, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NSP4; PRSSL1; UNQ782

Summary

This gene encodes an arginine-specific serine protease and member of the peptidase S1 family of proteins. The encoded protein may undergo proteolytic activation before storage in azurophil granules, in neutrophil cells of the immune system. Following neutrophil activation, the protease is released into the pericellular environment, where it may play a role in defense against microbial pathogens. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
