Inhibition of human matriptase by eglin c variants
20 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Based on the enzyme specificity of matriptase, a type II transmembrane serine protease (TTSP) overexpressed in epithelial tumors, we screened a cDNA library expressing variants of the protease inhibitor eglin c in order to identify potent matriptase inhibitors. The most potent of these, R(1)K(4)'-eglin, which had the wild-type Pro(45) (P1 position) and Tyr(49) (P4' position) residues replaced with Arg and Lys,...
