| medicine | protease activity of HtrA2 is essential for the production of C161. Processing of amyloid precursor protein into C161 by HtrA2 is a natural event occurring under normal physiological conditions. Direct cleavage of mitochondrial beta-amyloid precursor protein by HtrA2 may prevent mitochondrial dysfunction caused by accumulation of amyloid precursor protein. Regulation of HtrA2 protease activity may be a therapeutic target in Alzheimer disease | Homo sapiens |

| pCMV-HtrA2 plasmid encoding full-length HtrA2 with a C-terminal FLAG epitope tag transiently transfected into HEK-293 cells. Plasmid expressing either wild-type or mutant HtrA2 (pCMV-delta133 or pCMV-delta133 (S306A)) transiently transfected with a plasmid encoding full-length APP with a C-terminal Myc tag (pCMV-APP695M) and overexpression in HEK-293 cells | Homo sapiens |

| S276C | motor neuron degeneration (mnd2) mice. Level of cleavage product C161 is remarkably decreased in mnd2 mice in which the serine protease activity of HtrA2 is greatly reduced | Mus musculus |

| Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| etoposide | ratio of C161M/APP decreases 66% during 0.0040 mM etoposide-induced apoptosis compared with the non-apoptotic condition | Homo sapiens | |
| siRNA | suppresses endogenous HtrA2, which results in almost 2030% reduction of C161 production | Homo sapiens | |
| staurosporine | after transiently expressing HtrA2 and APP695M in HEK-293 cells for 24 h, the cells are induced by 0.0001 mM staurosporine, resulting in decreased rather than an increased production level of C161M during apoptosis | Homo sapiens |
