HTRA1 HtrA serine peptidase 1

Gene ID: 5654, updated on 9-Dec-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: L56; HtrA; ARMD7; ORF480; PRSS11; CARASIL; CADASIL2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. This protein is a secreted enzyme that is proposed to regulate the availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by cleaving IGF-binding proteins. It has also been suggested to be a regulator of cell growth. Variations in the promoter region of this gene are the cause of susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration type 7.
