St14 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cell morphogenesis involved in placental branching and neural tube closure. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 11. Orthologous to human ST14 (ST14 transmembrane serine protease matriptase).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse St14 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
