== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HTRA1_HUMAN HTRA1_HUMAN] Variations in the promoter region of HTRA1 are the cause of susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration type 7 (ARMD7) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/610149 610149]. ARMD is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness among older individuals in the developed word. It is classified as either dry (nonneovascular) or wet (neovascular). ARMD7 is a wet form, in which new blood vessels form and break beneath the retina. This leakage causes permanent damage to surrounding retinal tissue, distorting and destroying central vision. Wet ARMD is more prevalent among Asians than Caucasians.<ref>PMID:17053108</ref> <ref>PMID:17053109</ref>   Defects in HTRA1 are the cause of cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/600142 600142]. CARASIL is characterized by nonhypertensive cerebral small-vessel arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts, alopecia, and spondylosis, with an onset in early adulthood. On neuropathological examination, atherosclerosis associated with intimal thickening and dense collagen fibers, loss of vascular smooth-muscle cells, and hyaline degeneration of the tunica media has been observed in cerebral small arteries.<ref>PMID:19387015</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HTRA1_HUMAN HTRA1_HUMAN] Serine protease with a variety of targets, including extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin. HTRA1-generated fibronectin fragments further induce synovial cells to up-regulate MMP1 and MMP3 production. May also degrade proteoglycans, such as aggrecan, decorin and fibromodulin. Through cleavage of proteoglycans, may release soluble FGF-glycosaminoglycan complexes that promote the range and intensity of FGF signals in the extracellular space. Regulates the availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by cleaving IGF-binding proteins. Inhibits signaling mediated by TGF-beta family members. This activity requires the integrity of the catalytic site, although it is unclear whether TGF-beta proteins are themselves degraded. By acting on TGF-beta signaling, may regulate many physiological processes, including retinal angiogenesis and neuronal survival and maturation during development. Intracellularly, degrades TSC2, leading to the activation of TSC2 downstream targets.<ref>PMID:9852107</ref> <ref>PMID:16377621</ref> <ref>PMID:20671064</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Crystal structures of active and inactive conformations of the human serine protease HTRA1 reveal that substrate binding to the active site is sufficient to stimulate proteolytic activity. HTRA1 attaches to liposomes, digests misfolded proteins into defined fragments and undergoes substrate-mediated oligomer conversion. In contrast to those of other serine proteases, the PDZ domain of HTRA1 is dispensable for activation or lipid attachment, indicative of different underlying mechanistic features.
