Also known as MSPNF15S2
Summary
MST1 (macrophage stimulating 1, HGNC:7380) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p21.31, encoding Hepatocyte growth factor-like protein (P26927).
The protein encoded by this gene contains four kringle domains and a serine protease domain, similar to that found in hepatic growth factor. Despite the presence of the serine protease domain, the encoded protein may not have any proteolytic activity. The receptor for this protein is RON tyrosine kinase, which upon activation stimulates ciliary motility of ciliated epithelial lung cells. This protein is secreted and cleaved to form an alpha chain and a beta chain bridged by disulfide bonds.

Subunit / interactions. Dimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain linked by a disulfide bond. Interacts (via beta chain) with MST1R (via SEMA domain).
Subcellular location. Secreted.
Post-translational modifications. Cleaved after Arg-483, probably by HPN/Hepsin, to yield the active form consisting of two disulfide-linked chains.
Disease relevance. MST1 variant Cys-689 may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic, relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with a complex etiology. It is unsure whether Cys-689 itself or a variation in linkage disequilibrium with Cys-689 is responsible for the association with IBD.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily.
