GlossarySerine Protease Inhibitor

blocks enzymes that cut proteins at specific sites

A Serine Protease Inhibitor, often abbreviated as Serpin, is a type of protein that blocks the activity of serine proteases, which are enzymes that cut other proteins at specific sites. By inhibiting these enzymes, serpins play a crucial role in regulating various biological processes, including inflammation, blood clotting, and tissue remodeling.
