- Background
- Human HtrA3 protease, which induces mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, can be a tumor suppressor and a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of cancer. It may also have a role in ovarian development, granulosa cell differentiation and luteinization. The long isoform, HTRA3L, contains 453 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 49 kD. It contains an N-terminal signal peptide, followed by an insulin/IGF (see 147440) -binding domain, a Kazal-type S protease inhibitor domain, a trypsin protease domain, and a PDZ domain. The short isoform, HTRA3S, contains 357 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 38 kD.

- Clonality
- Polyclonal
- Tissue Specificity
- Widely expressed, with highest levels in both adult and fetal heart, ovary, uterus placenta, and bladder. In the endometrium, expressed in epithelial glands and the stroma. Also present in leukocytes. Isoform 1 is predominant in heart and skeletal muscle, whereas isoform 2 is predominant in placenta and kidney. .

- Form
- Lyophilized

- Function
- Serine protease that cleaves beta-casein/CSN2 as well as several extracellular matrix (ECM) proteoglycans such as decorin/DCN, biglycan/BGN and fibronectin/FN1. Inhibits signaling mediated by TGF-beta family proteins possibly inly by degradation of these ECM proteoglycans (By similarity) . May act as a tumor suppressor. Negatively regulates, in vitro, trophoblast invasion during placental development and may be involved in the development of the placenta in vivo. May also have a role in ovarian development, granulosa cell differentiation and luteinization (PubMed:21321049, PubMed:22229724) . .
