Gene: PRSS57

Alternate names for this Gene: NSP4|PRSSL1|UNQ782

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an arginine-specific serine protease and member of the peptidase S1 family of proteins. The encoded protein may undergo proteolytic activation before storage in azurophil granules, in neutrophil cells of the immune system. Following neutrophil activation, the protease is released into the pericellular environment, where it may play a role in defense against microbial pathogens.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.3

Description of this Gene: serine protease 57

Type of Gene: protein-coding
