Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1) is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor identified as a strong inhibitor of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) activator and matriptase. HAI-1 is first produced in a membrane-integrated form with two Kunitz domains in its extracellular region, and subsequent ectodomain shedding releases two major secreted forms, one with a single Kunitz domain and one...
