Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5652
Gene name Serine protease 8
Gene symbol PRSS8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CAP1PROSTASIN
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16p11.2
Summary This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 or chymotrypsin family of serine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that associate via a disulfide bond to form the heterodimeric enzyme. This
