We have identified and cloned a fetal liver cDNA encoding a new serine proteinase that has
been called matriptase-2. This protein exhibits a domain organization similar to other
members of an emerging family of membrane-bound serine proteinases known as type II
transmembrane serine proteinases. Matriptase-2 contains a short cytoplasmic domain, a
type II transmembrane sequence, a central region with several modular structural domains
including two CUB (complement factor C1s/C1r, urchin embryonic growth factor, bone …
