products description :
Fibroblast Activation Protein Alpha (FAP) is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. FAP is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This protein is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
uniprot summary :
FAP: In association with DPP4 is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May have a role in tissue remodeling during development and wound healing, and may contribute to invasiveness in malignant cancers. Belongs to the peptidase S9B family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: EC 3.4.21.26; Protease; EC 3.4.14.5; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q23. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell surface; focal adhesion; apical part of cell; lamellipodium; cytoplasm; integral to membrane; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: peptidase activity; integrin binding; protein dimerization activity; protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; protease binding; serine-type peptidase activity; dipeptidyl-peptidase activity; metalloendopeptidase activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; endopeptidase activity. Biological Process: proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process; endothelial cell migration; angiogenesis; cell adhesion; proteolysis; regulation of fibrinolysis
