Serpinb5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including extracellular matrix organization; prostate gland morphogenesis; and regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in sarcoplasm. Predicted to be active in cornified envelope and extracellular space. Orthologous to human SERPINB5 (serpin family B member 5).

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 rat 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.
