Research Abstract

The principal investigator has reported that the loss of motopsin, a serine protease in the brain, enhances social behaviors. In this research, we analyzed the effects of motopsin and sez-6, which was identified as a motopsin-binding protein, on the cell morphology when they were transfected in neuroblastoma cells. The results suggested that these proteinases coordinately modulate the morphology of neuronal cells. Further, we showed a possibility that serine proteases in the brain ordinarily modulate social behaviors, since the mice lacking tissue plasminogen activator, another protease in the brain, showed enhanced social anxiety in behavioral tests.
