Background: Hepsin

Hepsin, also known as TMPRSS1, is an approximately 50 kDa Type II membrane protein with an extracellular serine protease domain. It is primarily expressed in liver as a disulfide linked heterodimer of heavy and light chains (1, 2). Hepsin cleaves and activates Coagulation Factors VII, IX, and XII (3, 4), the pro forms of HGF, MSP, and uPA (4-8), and Prostasin/PRSS8 (9). It also cleaves EGF R and prevents receptor binding of EGF [9]. Its enzymatic activity is inhibited by HAI-1 and HAI-2 (4, 5, 8). Hepsin is overexpressed in various human tumors including prostate and breast (6, 10), and it promotes tumor progression and metastasis (11). It disrupts attachment of epithelial cells to the basement membrane by inducing the breakdown of  desmosomal structures (6). Hepsin also binds to Protein X from hepatitis B virus and to pORF3 from hepatitis E virus (12, 13). Within the ECD, mouse Hepsin shares 89% and 98% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat Hepsin, respectively (2). An alternatively spliced isoform has a 20 aa deletion in the cytoplasmic and transmembrane regions (2).
