Serpine2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables heparin binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including dense core granule biogenesis; embryo implantation; and negative regulation of blood coagulation. Located in extracellular space and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of brain edema and hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human SERPINE2 (serpin family E member 2).

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 Serpine2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
