Part:BBa_K4165081
SPINK4 (Serine Peptidase Inhibitor Kazal type 4).
This basic part encodes Human serine protease inhibitor known as SPINK4 which is able to inhibit trypsin-like proteases, like HtrA1 (BBa_K4165004).
Usage and Biology
This type of family encodes for a type of inhibitor that is able to inhibit serine proteases and it is predicted to be located extracellularly. The inhibitor binds to trypsin proteases and since the catalytic core of HtrA1 (BBa_K4165004) is considered as a tyrpsin-like catalytic domain, so this inhibitor also is considered to inhibit the function of HtrA1 [1-4].
