Research areas
-
Function
Neurotrophic protein; induces extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells. Potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. -
Tissue specificity
Retinal pigment epithelial cells and blood plasma. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the serpin family. -
Developmental stage
Expressed in quiescent cells. -
Domain
The N-terminal (AA 44-121) exhibits neurite outgrowth-inducing activity. The C-terminal exposed loop (AA 382-418) is essential for serpin activity. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe N-terminus is blocked. Extracellular phosphorylation enhances antiangiogenic activity.
N- and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with a core 1 or possibly core 8 glycan. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. Melanosome. Enriched in stage I melanosomes. - Information by UniProt
