SERPINB5 Gene Summary [Human]

Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of endopeptidase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including extracellular matrix organization; prostate gland morphogenesis; and regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Located in cytoplasm. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human SERPINB5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • SERine Proteinase INhibitors (serpin) family
  • protein binding
