The gene HTRA1 (HtrA serine peptidase 1) is mapped to human chromosome 10q26. The gene encodes a serine protease. It belongs to the HTRA family of proteins. The protein has an extracellular export signal, a IGFBP (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein) domain, a Kazal-like structure, a serine protease module and a C-terminal PDZ (PSD-95, Discs-large and ZO-1) binding motif.

Biochem Physiol Actions: HTRA1 (HtrA serine peptidase 1) plays an important role in protein degradation and cell signaling. It is also involved in development of many organs and of various pathologies (neoplastic and degenerative diseases). HTRA1 exhibits tumor suppressor activities. Mutations in this gene are associated with two diseases, CARASIL (cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy) and AMD (age-related macular degeneration).
