SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane,junction
text	neuromuscular junctions

basic FUNCTION	serine proteinase inhibitor, promoting neurite outgrowth
	regulator of alpha-thrombin
	may play a much larger role in the modeling and remodeling of brain tissues during development
	potent urinary plasminogen activator inhibitor in the presence of collagen type IV and may play a much larger role in the modeling and remodeling of brain tissues during development (Crisp 2002)
	possible promoter of testicular germ cell tumors lymph node metastasis (Nagahara 2010)
	inhibits FURIN, a serine protease that activates MMP17 involved in the shedding of endothelial PROCR, suggesting a direct interaction between SERPINE2 and FURIN in endothelial cells

Susceptibility

to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	a SNP increasing the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, likely influenced by gene-by-smoking interaction
	Six SNPs demonstrated significant associations with COPD phenotypes in the family-based association analysis (Zhu 2007)

Candidate gene	potential biomarker that might be tested clinically
	in patients for early diagnosis of HELLP syndrome Kang 2008)
Marker
Therapy target	secreted protein, that could be a new target for the therapy against human testicular germ cell tumor (Nagahara 2010)
