Function

Plasma membrane-anchored serine protease that cleaves at arginine residues (PubMed:32703818, PubMed:35676539, PubMed:37990007, PubMed:38964328). Participates in proteolytic cascades of relevance for the normal physiologic function of the prostate (PubMed:25122198). Androgen-induced TMPRSS2 activates several substrates that include pro-hepatocyte growth factor/HGF, the protease activated receptor-2/F2RL1 or matriptase/ST14 leading to extracellular matrix disruption and metastasis of prostate cancer cells (PubMed:15537383, PubMed:25122198, PubMed:26018085). In addition, activates trigeminal neurons and contribute to both spontaneous pain and mechanical allodynia (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Facilitates human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections via two independent mechanisms, proteolytic cleavage of ACE2 receptor which promotes viral uptake, and cleavage of coronavirus spike glycoproteins which activates the glycoprotein for host cell entry (PubMed:24227843, PubMed:32142651, PubMed:32404436, PubMed:33051876, PubMed:34159616, PubMed:35676539, PubMed:37990007). The cleavage of SARS-COV2 spike glycoprotein occurs between the S2 and S2' site (PubMed:32703818). Upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, increases syncytia formation by accelerating the fusion process (PubMed:33051876, PubMed:34159616, PubMed:35676539). Proteolytically cleaves and activates the spike glycoproteins of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and human coronavirus EMC (HCoV-EMC) and the fusion glycoproteins F0 of Sendai virus (SeV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human parainfluenza 1, 2, 3, 4a and 4b viruses (HPIV). Essential for spread and pathogenesis of influenza A virus (strains H1N1, H3N2 and H7N9); involved in proteolytic cleavage and activation of hemagglutinin (HA) protein which is essential for viral infectivity. (Microbial infection) Receptor for human coronavirus HKU1-CoV, acts synergistically with disialoside glycans to facilitate the entry of the virus. After binding to cell-surface disialoside glycans, the viral S protein interacts with the inactive form of TMPRSS2 and inhibits its protease activity.

    Western blot - Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] (ab109131)

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red.

    In Western blot, ab109131 was shown to bind specifically to TMPRSS2. A band was observed at 55, 25 kDa in wild-type LNCaP and at 25 kDa in Caco-2 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TMPRSS2 knockout LNCaP cell line Human TMPRSS2 knockout LNCaP cell line ab273745 (knockout LNCaP cell lysate Human TMPRSS2 knockout LNCaP cell lysate ab275499) and TMPRSS2 knockout Caco-2 cell line Human TMPRSS2 knockout Caco-2 cell line ab273737 (knockout Caco-2 cell lysate ab277340).

    To generate this image, wild-type and TMPRSS2 knockout cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

    ab109131 staining TMPRSS2 in Human prostate adenocarcinoma tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed and paraffin-embedded, antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in Tris/EDTA buffer pH9. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/1000). An undiluted HRP-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Tissue counterstained with Hematoxylin. PBS was used in the negative control rather than the Primary antibody.
