SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	serine proteinase inhibitor of cathepsin S, K and L
	may act as a protease inhibitor to modulate the host immune response against tumor cells
	may be involved in the malignant behavior of squamous cell carcinoma cells
	with SERPINB3, stimulates matrix metalloproteinase-9 production in cervical squamous cell carcinoma cell lines
	important role of SERPINB3 in the modulation of programmed cell death by different mechanisms, both in inflammatory processes and in cancer
	SERPINB3 significantly attenuates apoptosis by contrasting cytochrome c release from the mitochondria and by antichemotactic effect for NK cells
	its anti-protease activity might be implicated in TGF-beta1 induction
	with SERPINB4, are tumor-associated proteins that can inhibit papain-like cysteine proteases, including cathepsins L, K, and S
