Human serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 8 (SPINK8)

This basic part encodes Human serine protease inhibitor known as SPINK8 which is able to inhibit trypsin-like proteases like serine protease HtrA1 (BBa_K4165004).

Usage and Biology

This type of family encodes inhibitors that is predicted to be able to inhibit serine peptidases. The inhibitor is present extracellularly and binds to trypsin-like proteases (serine proteases) and since the catalytic core of HtrA1 (BBa_K4165004) is considered as a trypsin-like catalytic domain, so this inhibitor also is considered to inhibit the function of HtrA1.

Sequence and Features

Dry Lab Characterization

Modeling

This inhibitor was modeled using different software (trRosetta - AlphaFold2 - RosettaFold - Modeller) and the top model was acquired from trRosetta ranking 6 out of 6 according to our Quality Assesment code.
