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 |
