Protein: Serine protease 7 (EC 3.4.21.-) (Melanization protease 2) (Q9V3Z2)
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: Serine protease which, by cleaving and activating prophenoloxidase (PPO1) after immune challenge, plays an essential role in the melanization immune response to septic wounding. May function in diverse Hayan-dependent PPO1-activating cascades that are negatively controlled by different serpin proteins; Spn27A in the hemolymph and Spn77BA in the trachea. Important for the innate immune response to fungi. Regulation of melanization and PPO1 activation appears to be largely independent of the Toll signaling pathway.
