    Did you mean TMPRSS2?
    Glossary TMPRSS2

    enzyme aiding viral entry into human cells

    TMPRSS2 stands for Transmembrane Serine Protease 2, an enzyme that plays a role in the activation of certain proteins by cutting them at specific sites. It is notably involved in the process by which the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, enters human cells, making it a target for therapeutic interventions.
