anti- SERPINB8 antibody

Background

SERPINB8 is part of the broader serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily, which plays a crucial role in regulating protease activity within various physiological processes. This gene is located on chromosome 18q21.3 and encodes an intracellular protein that is primarily involved in inhibiting serine proteases, similar to other members of the SERPINB clade. The serpin superfamily is well-known for its diverse roles in cellular processes, including inflammation, coagulation, immune response, and apoptosis. SERPINB8, in particular, has been identified as an important player in several pathological conditions, especially those related to skin integrity and immune responses. Its expression is noted across multiple tissues, with significant roles in epithelial tissues such as the skin. The protein’s involvement in inflammatory skin diseases, along with its role in other cellular processes, makes it a critical subject of study in molecular biology and medicine.
