Membrane-bound transcription factor site-2 protease
Membrane-bound transcription factor site-2 protease, or site-2 protease for short, is an enzyme encoded by the gene which liberates the N-terminal fragment of sterol regulatory element-binding protein transcription factors from membranes. S2P cleaves the transmembrane domain of SREPB, making it a member of the class of intramembrane proteases.
S2P endopeptidase is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M50.
