Abstract

Provided herein are type II transmembrane serine protease 7 (MTSP7) polypeptides. Zymogen and activated forms of these polypeptides as well as single and two chain forms of the protease domain are also provided. Methods using the polypeptides to identify compounds that modulate the protease activity of an MTSP7 are provided.
