Mouse anti-Human sapiens (Human) SERPINB1 Monoclonal Antibody

Function

Neutrophil serine protease inhibitor that plays an essential role in the regulation of the innate immune response, inflammation and cellular homeostasis (PubMed:30692621). Acts primarily to protect the cell from proteases released in the cytoplasm during stress or infection. These proteases are important in killing microbes but when released from granules, these potent enzymes also destroy host proteins and contribute to mortality. Regulates the activity of the neutrophil proteases elastase, cathepsin G, proteinase-3, chymase, chymotrypsin, and kallikrein-3 (PubMed:11747453, PubMed:30692621). Also acts as a potent intracellular inhibitor of GZMH by directly blocking its proteolytic activity (PubMed:23269243). During inflammation, limits the activity of inflammatory caspases CASP1, CASP4 and CASP5 by suppressing their caspase-recruitment domain (CARD) oligomerization and enzymatic activation (PubMed:30692621). When secreted, promotes the proliferation of beta-cells via its protease inhibitory function (PubMed:26701651)

Subcellular Location

Secreted; Cytoplasm; Cytolytic granule; Early endosome

Tissue Specificity

In human bone marrow, present in all CD45+ populations. Expression levels are highest in the neutrophil lineage, intermediate in monocytic, and lowest in lymphocytic lineage. Within the neutrophil lineage, expression is highest in promyelocytes

Subunit

Monomer (PubMed:23269243). Interacts (via C-terminus) with CASP1; CASP4 (via CARD domain) and CASP5; these interactions regulate the activity of inflammatory caspases (PubMed:30692621). Interacts with PRTN3 (PubMed:30692621). Interacts with GZMH (PubMed:23269243)
