    basic FUNCTION
  • inhibits the activity of cathepsin G (release of neutrophil cathepsin G can destroy the vascular matrix through degradation, platelet aggregation and coagulation disorders)
  • inhibitor that controls proMMP-9 activation in skin tissue
  • would likely contribute to reducing tissue damage by proteases that are released at the site of skin injury
  • in the context of chronic inflammatory diseases, therapeutic SERPINA3 might protect tissue from undesirable destructive side effects of leukocyte-derived proteases
  • is a typical acute-phase protein secreted into the circulation during acute and chronic inflammation
  • has anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic functions
  • importance of SERPINA3 in the homeostasis of placental development
