| Function |
Probable serine protease that play a role in hearing. Acts as a permissive factor for cochlear hair cells survival and activation at the onset of hearing and is required for saccular hair cell survival (By similarity). Activates ENaC (in vitro). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393794}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393794}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393794}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in many tissues including fetal cochlea. Isoform T is found at increased levels in some carcinomas.
