SERPINF2 serpin family F member 2

Gene ID: 5345, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AAP; API; PLI; A2AP; alpha2AP; ALPHA-2-PI

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the serpin family of serine protease inhibitors. The protein is a major inhibitor of plasmin, which degrades fibrin and various other proteins. Consequently, the proper function of this gene has a major role in regulating the blood clotting pathway. Mutations in this gene result in alpha-2-plasmin inhibitor deficiency, which is characterized by severe hemorrhagic diathesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
