medicine | primary prostate cancer and prostate cancer metastases. TMPRSS2 expression is significantly higher in both neoplastic prostate and in the epithelium of prostatic hyperplasia compared to normal epithelium. TMPRSS2 expression is further elevated in higher Gleason grade cancers (patterns 4 and 5) compared to pattern 3. In most high-grade cancers, TMPRSS2 is mislocalized, being expressed in the cytoplasm as well as in the cell membrane | Homo sapiens |
medicine | TMPRSS2 protease is highly expressed in metastatic prostate cancers and promotes cancer invasion and metastasis | Mus musculus |

additional information | at the P1 position, TMPRSS2 strongly prefers substrates with an arginine rather than a lysine. The P1' position may comprise a hydrophobic amino acid (isoleucine or valine) to bind to the large, hydrophobic S1 pocket of TMPRSS2 | Mus musculus | ? | - |
