MBTPS1 refers to a protein target that is studied across multiple biological contexts; annotations and nomenclature can vary by species and isoform. This product corresponds to the Homo sapiens (Human) sequence context, which can be important when comparing homologs or orthologs across model systems. For curated functional annotations, domains, and sequence features, consult primary databases (e.g., UniProt\/NCBI) and the recent literature for the specific organism and isoform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDissecting domain-specific functions of regulatory proteins involved in chromatin organization and transcriptional control.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMapping protein–protein and protein–nucleic acid interactions that coordinate gene expression programs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilding in vitro assays for enzymatic activities and reader–writer–eraser mechanisms linked to epigenetic regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelevance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serine protease that catalyzes the first step in the proteolytic activation of the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). Other known substrates are BDNF, GNPTAB and ATF6. Cleaves after hydrophobic or small residues, provided that Arg or Lys is in position P4. Cleaves known substrates after Arg-Ser-Val-Leu (SERBP-2), Arg-His-Leu-Leu (ATF6), Arg-Gly-Leu-Thr (BDNF) and its own propeptide after Arg-Arg-Leu-Leu. Mediates the protein cleavage of GNPTAB into subunit alpha and beta, thereby participating in biogenesis of lysosomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnzyme activity assays and kinetics measurements with defined substrates\/cofactors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInhibitor, activator, or substrate screening in biochemical assay formats.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStructure–function analysis to interpret how sequence changes impact catalytic performance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn quantitative assay development, changes in binding or activity readouts are typically interpreted relative to appropriate negative\/positive controls and, where possible, orthogonal assay formats that support the same conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecombinant constructs may represent a defined region (domain) rather than the full-length protein; interpret results in the context of the expressed region.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTag or fusion elements can aid purification and detection but may influence binding surfaces or oligomerization; consider tag controls when relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecies and isoform differences can affect interaction partners and post-translational modifications; align experimental controls to the intended biological context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eE. coli expression can limit eukaryotic post-translational modifications; for modification-dependent biology, interpret results accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry for Q14703 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q14703\/entry - NCBI Gene search (MBTPS1) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=MBTPS1 - PubMed search (MBTPS1) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=MBTPS1 - RCSB PDB search (MBTPS1) — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/search?query=MBTPS1 - Reactome Pathway Browser — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53065301033325,"sku":"CSB-EP617930HU1-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53065452913005,"sku":"CSB-EP617930HU1-100UG","price":578.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53065452945773,"sku":"CSB-EP617930HU1-20UG","price":306.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP617930HU1-SDS.jpg?v=1772476587","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-membrane-bound-transcription-factor-site-1-protease-mbtps1-partial-bhp10509832","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
