-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in Tris saline, 0.02% sodium azide, pH 7.3, 0.5% BSA.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to C-TDWIYRQMRADG, from human TMPRSS2, at the internal region of the protein (NP_005647.2).

TMPRSS2 is a protein that belongs to the serine protease family. The protein contains a type II transmembrane domain, a receptor class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain and a protease domain. Serine proteases are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Its gene was demonstrated to be up-regulated by androgenic hormones in prostate cancer cells and down-regulated in androgen-independent prostate cancer tissue. The protease domain of this protein is thought to be cleaved and secreted into cell media after autocleavage.
