Partial recombinant corresponding to aa298-401 from human ST14 (NP_068813) with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26kD.
Matriptase or MT-SP1 is an epithelial-derived type II transmembrane serine protease that is highly expressd in human cancer-derived cell lines. Matriptase cleaves and activates protease activated receptor-2, pro-urokinase plasminogen activator and pro-hepatocyte growth factor. Matriptase is strongly inhibited by the hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1), which is a reactive site loop of Kunitz domain and also a transmembrane serine protease inhibitor. Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
