...Robert Stallmach; Sergio M. Gloor TTSPs [type II TMPRSSs (transmembrane serine proteases)] are a growing family of trypsin-like enzymes with, in some cases, restricted tissue distribution. To investigate the expression of TTSPs in the nervous system, we performed a PCR-based screening approach...

...Marja-Riitta VÄISÄNEN; Timo VÄISÄNEN; Taina PIHLAJANIEMI Transmembrane type XIII collagen resides in adhesive structures of cells and tissues, and has therefore been implicated in cell adhesion and in adhesion-dependent cell functions. This collagen also exists as a soluble protein...

... and Pref-1D, which lack the processing site proximal to the membrane and therefore generate only the smaller soluble form, did not show any effect. We conclude that only the large soluble form, and not the transmembrane or the small soluble form, of Pref-1 is biologically active and that alternative...

..., triadin, calsequestrin and junctin [9,10]. In the present study we have used a biochemical approach to study the protein constituents of rabbit SR and have identified a novel 45 kDa transmembrane protein which is present only in skeletal muscle, is enriched in the JFM and is found in both fast- and slow...
