SERPINB5 Antibody / MASPIN

SERPINB5 is also known as PI5 or maspin. Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINB5 gene. Maspin is expressed in the skin, prostate, testis, intestine, tongue, lung, and the thymus. Maspin is a member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors.[1] The primary function of most members of this family is to regulate the breakdown of proteins by inhibiting the catalytic activity of proteinases. Through this mechanism of action, serpins regulate a number of cellular processes includingphagocytosis, coagulation, and fibrinolysis.
