General description

Matriptase-2/TMPRSS6, also known as Transmembrane protease serine 6, and encoded by the gene TMPRSS6, is a serine protease which hydrolyzes a range of proteins including type I collagen, fibronectin and fibrinogen and appears to play an important role in matrix remodeling in the liver. Matriptase-2/TMPRSS6 also plays an important role in iron homeostasis and interacts with the iron homeostasis protein Hepcidin. Maintaining the body’s levels of iron within precise boundaries is essential for normal physiological function. Alterations of these levels below or above the healthy limit lead to a systemic deficiency or overload in iron. Matriptase-2/TMPRSS6 is a proteolytic regulator of iron homeostasis. Matriptase-2/TMPRSS6 is expressed only in the liver in normal tissues and undergoes proteolytic processing to yield two activated chains that are shed one intracellularly and one extracellularly. Mutations in Matriptase-2/TMPRSS6 gene give rise to iron deficiency anemia.
