Membrane-bound transcription factor site-2 protease, or site-2 protease (S2P) for short, is an enzyme (EC 3.4.24.85) encoded by the MBTPS2 gene which liberates the N-terminal fragment of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) transcription factors from membranes.[1][2] S2P cleaves the transmembrane domain of SREPB, making it a member of the class of intramembrane proteases.

S2P endopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.85) is an enzyme.[3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Cleaves several transcription factors that are type-2 transmembrane proteins within membrane-spanning domains. Known substrates include sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1, SREBP-2 and forms of the transcriptional activator ATF6.

This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M50.
