Background :

FAP (fibroblast activation protein-alpha; also known as seprase) is a type II transmembrane serine protease that degrades gelatin, Type I collagen, and N-terminal prolines. FAP is induced on reactive stromal fibroblasts in epithelial cancers, sarcomas, and granulation tissue, and may play roles in tumor invasion, tissue remodeling, and wound repair.
