Abstract excerpt
Testes-specific protease 50 (TSP50) has threonine activity and has homology to serine proteases. TSP50 protein, which is encoded by a possible proto-oncogene, is overexpressed in cervical tumor tissues. Through overexpression experiments using both TSP50 and a TSP50 mutant (TSP50 T310A), it is clear that this protein may play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of cervical tumor. However, the...
