Autosomal Ichthyosis with Hypotrichosis Syndrome Displays Low Matriptase Proteolytic Activity and Is Phenocopied in ST14 Hypomorphic Mice
17 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis (ARIH) is an inherited disorder recently linked to homozygosity for a point mutation in the ST14 gene that causes a G827R mutation in the matriptase serine protease domain (G216 in chymotrypsin numbering). Here we show that human G827R matriptase has strongly reduced proteolytic activity toward small molecule substrates, as well as toward its candidate...
