Description
Product Characteristics: This gene encodes a member of the serpin family of proteins, a group of proteins that inhibit serine proteases. Thrombin, urokinase, plasmin and trypsin are among the proteases that this family member can inhibit. This gene is a susceptibility gene for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and for emphysema. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.,SERPINE2,GDN,GDNPF,PI-7,PI7,PN-1,PN1,PNI,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Cell Adhesion,Ubiquitin,Neuroscience,Cardiovascular,Blood,SERPINE2
