Recombinant Rat ST14/Matriptase protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Degrades extracellular matrix. Proposed to play a role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Exhibits trypsin-like activity as defined by cleavage of synthetic substrates with Arg or Lys as the P1 site.Defects in ST14 are a cause of ichthyosis autosomal recessive with hypotrichosis (ARIH) . ARIH is a skin disorder characterized by congenital ichthyosis associated with the presence of less than the normal amount of hair.
