Gene information for PRSS8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5652
Official gene symbolPRSS8
Full nameprotease, serine, 8
Aliases,CAP1,PROSTASIN,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a trypsinogen, which is a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. This enzyme is highly expressed in prostate epithelia and is one of several proteolytic enzymes found in seminal fluid. The proprotein is cleaved to produce a light chain and a heavy chain which are associated by a disulfide bond. It is active on peptide linkages involving the carboxyl group of lysine or arginine.
