Summary: Predicted to enable sodium channel regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of sodium ion transmembrane transport; response to mineralocorticoid; and response to peptide hormone. Located in extracellular space. Used to study alopecia. Orthologous to human PRSS8 (serine protease 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

Mutations of the serine protease CAP1/Prss8 lead to reduced embryonic viability, skin defects, and decreased ENaC activity.
Title: Mutations of the serine protease CAP1/Prss8 lead to reduced embryonic viability, skin defects, and decreased ENaC activity.
Data show that apical, GPI-anchored, lipid raft-associated serine protease activity, compatible with prostasin, is necessary for the development of a high-resistance collecting duct epithelium.
Title: Apical serine protease activity is necessary for assembly of a high-resistance renal collecting duct epithelium.
A 12-bp deletion in the third exon of the Prss8 gene is responsible for the mutant 'hairless', frizzy-Charles River (frCR) phenotype. No alterations to Prss8 coding sequences were detected in the allelic 'fuzzy' rat variant.
Title: The mouse frizzy (fr) and rat 'hairless' (frCR) mutations are natural variants of protease serine S1 family member 8 (Prss8).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
