proteolytic modification | metalloprotease meprin beta is activated by transmembrane serine protease matriptase-2 (MT2) at the cell surface. No processing by TMPRSS4 or pancreatic trypsin. The cleavage site for maturation within the propeptide of meprin beta is in close proximity to the plasma membrane, crystal structure analysis, PDB ID 4GWM.

metabolism | metalloprotease meprin beta is activated by transmembrane serine protease matriptase-2 at the cell surface thereby enhancing amyloid precursor protein (APP) shedding | Homo sapiens |
additional information | molecular structure modelling of promeprin beta nd meprin beta, overview | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | protease meprin beta is expressed as an inactive zymogen and requires proteolytic maturation by tryptic serine proteases. Maturation of full-length meprin beta is required for its activity as a cell surface sheddase, releasing the ectodomains of transmembrane proteins, e.g. amyloid precursor protein (APP) | Homo sapiens |
