TMPRSS2 belongs to the serine protease family. It contains a type II transmembrane domain, a receptor class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain and a protease domain. Serine proteases are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes. TMPRSS2 facilitates human SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection via two independent mechanisms: proteolytic cleavage of ACE2, which might promote viral uptake, and cleavage of coronavirus spike glycoprotein, which activates the glycoprotein for cathepsin Lindependent host cell entry. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different proteins have been described.
