Mouse Serpin B12 (SerpinB12) Protein

Background

SERPINB12 is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily, which plays a crucial role in modulating proteolytic cascades. Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds, and serpins inhibit these enzymes to maintain physiological homeostasis. The serpin family is classified based on their ability to inhibit serine proteases, although some serpins also regulate other types of proteases or possess non-inhibitory roles. SERPINB12, like other members of the serpin family, is essential in regulating protease activity in various biological processes, including inflammation, immunity, and cell migration. SERPINB12 has garnered attention for its role in inhibiting specific serine proteases, which could have implications in various physiological and pathological processes
