MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. Studies in mouse suggest that the encoded enzyme may be involved in structural reorganizations associated with learning and memory. The enzyme is also expressed in Leydig cells in the testis, but its function in this tissue is unknown. Defects in this gene are a cause of mental retardation autosomal recessive type 1 (MRT1).

PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation display hypoactivity and increased anxiety. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a T to C transition at position 2477 of the Prss12 transcript in exon 11 of 11 exons using Genbank record NM_008939.2.  The mutated nucleotide causes a valine to alanine substitution at amino acid 744 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method.

Protein Function and Prediction

The Prss12 gene encodes a 761 amino acid extracellular multidomain serine protease associated with neural development and plasticity. The protein contains a Kringle domain at residues 85-157, three SRCR (Speract/scavenger receptor related) domains at amino acids 166-267, 273-373 and 386-487, and a peptidase domain at residues 517-760. (Uniprot O08762). Kringle domains are believed to play a role in binding mediators (e.g., membranes, other proteins or phospholipids), and in the regulation of proteolytic activity. Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation display hypoactivity and increased anxiety. A human mutation in PRSS12 causes autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mental retardation (OMIM 249500).

The V744A alteration occurs in the peptidase domain.
