Serpinf1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cobalt ion; cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; and short-term memory. Located in several cellular components, including axon hillock; basement membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study Alzheimer's disease; middle cerebral artery infarction; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of endometriosis; liver disease (multiple); obesity; retinal disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bone disease (multiple); brain edema; eye disease (multiple); leukostasis; and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Orthologous to human SERPINF1 (serpin family F member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Serpinf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
