Introduction 3. Hepsin cDNA and gene structures 3.1. Cloning of hepsin cDNA 3.2. Hepsin
gene structure 3.3. The promoter sequence of the mouse hepsin gene. 4. Hepsin protein 4.1 …

Hepsin is a type II transmembrane serine protease highly expressed on the surface of
hepatocytes. The physiological function of hepsin is not known, although in vitro studies …

Hepsin, a liver-enriched novel serine protease, has been implicated in participating with
normal cell growth, embryogenesis, and blood coagulation pathway. To study its function in …

Hepsin, a type‐II membrane‐associated serine protease, has been implicated in cell growth
and developement as well as possible initiation of blood coagulation. Here, we report on the …

Background/Aims: Hepsin is a type II transmembrane protein predominantly expressed in
the liver and has been implicated in participation in blood coagulation pathway and …

The liver architecture plays an important role in maintaining hemodynamic balance, but the
mechanisms that underlie this role are not fully understood. Hepsin, a type II transmembrane …

Type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSPs), including hepsin, are a new class of cell
surface catalytic enzymes. In the present study, a non-transmembrane isoform of hepsin …

Hepsin is a transmembrane serine protease implicated in many biological processes,
including hepatocyte growth, urinary protein secretion, auditory nerve development, and …

Hepsin is a serine protease that is widely expressed in different tissues and cell types, most
prominently in the normal liver and kidney. Overexpression of hepsin has been associated …

Hepsin is a type II transmembrane serine protease that is expressed in normal liver, and at
lower levels in kidney, pancreas, and testis. Several studies have shown that hepsin mRNA …
