Target: | TMPRSS6 is a serine protease which hydrolyzes a range of proteins including type I collagen, fibronectin and fibrinogen. TMPRSS6 can also activate urokinase-type plasminogen activator with low efficiency. TMPRSS6 may play a specialized role in matrix remodeling processes in liver. TMPRSS6 is required to sense iron deficiency. Overexpression of TMPRSS6 suppresses activation of the HAMP promoter.The protein encoded by this gene is a type II transmembrane serine proteinase that is found attached to the cell surface. The encoded protein may be involved in matrix remodeling processes in the liver. |
