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 3.4.14.5; Protease; EC 3.4.21.26; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q23. Cellular Component: apical part of cell; cell surface; cytoplasm; extracellular space; focal adhesion; integral to membrane; lamellipodium; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: dipeptidyl-peptidase activity; endopeptidase activity; integrin binding; metalloendopeptidase activity; peptidase activity; protease binding; protein binding; protein dimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; serine-type peptidase activity. Biological Process: angiogenesis; cell adhesion; endothelial cell migration; proteolysis; proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process; regulation of fibrinolysis
