Background Information
Hepsin is a type II transmembrane serine protease. It is primarily expressed in the liver but has also been detected in other tissues, including the prostate, kidney, and pancreas. Hepsin plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, such as cell growth, extracellular matrix remodeling, and tissue homeostasis. Notably, Hepsin has been implicated in cancer progression, particularly in prostate cancer, where its overexpression is associated with tumor metastasis and poor prognosis (PMID: 15324701, PMID: 18726901). Hepsin has been identified as a peptide of approximately 45 kDa representing the intact protein, and a fragment of about 28 kDa representing the cleaved extracellular domain (PMID: 19302215, PMID: 21734266).
