'''Rhomboid protease''' (GlpG) is a transmembranal serine protease.  The active site is buried in the lipid bilayer of cell membrane.  It cleaves proteins within their transmembrane domain<ref>PMID:18605900</ref>.  Rhomboids regulate many cellular processes and are involved in many human diseases.  The catalytic site of rhomboids contains a hydrophilic pocket protected from the lipid bilayer.  Rhomboids are specific for a single transmembranal helix proteins.
