Matriptases (EC 3.4.21.109) are an enzyme family.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Cleaves various synthetic substrates with Arg or Lys at the P1 position and prefers small side-chain amino acids, such as Ala and Gly, at the P2 position
This trypsin-like integral-membrane serine peptidase has been implicated in breast cancer invasion and metastasis.
