Also known as FLJ30744MT2
Summary
TMPRSS6 (transmembrane serine protease 6, HGNC:16517) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q12.3, encoding Transmembrane protease serine 6 (Q8IU80). Membrane-bound serine protease.
The protein encoded by this gene is a type II transmembrane serine proteinase that is found attached to the cell surface. The encoded protein may be involved in matrix remodeling processes in the liver. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Transmembrane protease serine 6 — Q8IU80 (reviewed: Q8IU80)
Alternative names: Matriptase-2
All UniProt accessions (4): B0QYB3, B0QYB6, Q8IU80, X6REP5
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Membrane-bound serine protease. Through the cleavage of cell surface hemojuvelin (HJV), a regulator of the expression of the iron absorption-regulating hormone hepicidin/HAMP, plays a role in iron homeostasis.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with HJV.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Post-translational modifications. The single-chain zymogen undergoes autoproteolytic processing. This results in TMPRSS6 shedding from the cell surface and conversion into an activated two-chains form which is released extracellularly. The process involves a trans-activation mechanism that requires TMPRSS6 oligomerization.
Disease relevance. Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) [MIM:206200] Key features include congenital hypochromic microcytic anemia, very low mean corpuscular erythrocyte volume, low transferrin saturation, abnormal iron absorption characterized by no hematologic improvement following treatment with oral iron, and abnormal iron utilization characterized by a sluggish, incomplete response to parenteral iron. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mutations leading to abrogation of TMPRSS6 activity are associated with IRIDA due to elevated levels of hepcidin, a negative regulator of plasma iron pool.
Domain organisation. Cytoplasmic domain mediates HAMP suppression via proximal promoter element(s).
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
