ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides hepsin/46 protein, a soluble form of hepsin lacking the transmembrane region. The present invention specifically provides isolated peptide and nucleic acid molecules, methods of identifying molecules that interacting with the protease peptides, and methods of identifying modulators of the protease peptides.
